Answer 1

Answer:

The provision will last in 22 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in an army camp, there were provisions for 550 men for 28 days.

It means total provision is

T=550\times 28=15400T=550×28=15400 .... (1)

Let there were provisions for 700 men for x days.

It means total provision is

T=700\times x=700xT=700×x=700x ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

15400=700x15400=700x

\frac{15400}{700}=x

700

15400

=x

22=x22=x
