Question

40 person consume 200kg of rice in 30days. in how many days will 30 person consume 500kg of rice

Answer 1

40 men consume 200kg rice per day = 200/40 = 5kg

Each man each day = 5/30 = 0.17

30 men consume 500kg rice per day = 500/30 = 16.67kg

Each man each day = 16.67/x(days) = 0.17

Number of days require to consume 500kg rice by 30 persons = x = 100 days

Answer 2

Thank you for asking this question. Here is your answer:

200 kg = 30 days

1 kg = 30/ 200 days

500 kg = (30/ 200) x 500

= 75 days

Now we will calculate for the 1 person:

40 persons = 75 days  

1 person = 75 x 40 days

For 30 persons:

30 PERSONS = (75 x 40)/ 30

⇒ 3000/30

= 100 days

So the final answer is 30 people consume 500kg of rice in 100 days.
