Question

5. A fort had provisions for 1150 men for 75 days. After 15 days, 350 more
men arrived at the fort How long will the remaining food last at the same

Answer 1

Answer:

1150 men

so now after 15 days, 350 men arrived

so subtract 15 days from 75 days

u get 60 days draw a table showing

let number of days be x

no of days: 60           x

no of men: 1150         1150+350=1500 men

= 60 * 1150= 1500*x

x = 60 * 1150/ 1500 ( inverse variation)

= 46 days
