Step-by-step explanation:

8 men requires 64 kg of rice for 16 days

Find the number of men 64 kg of rice can provide for 1 day:

Find the number of men 70 kg of rice can provide for 1 day:

64 kg of rice = 128 man-day

1 kg of rice = 128 ÷ 64 = 2 man-day

70 kg of rice = 2 x 70 = 140 man-day

Find the number of men 70 kg of rice can provide for 10 day:

70 kg of rice for 1 day = 140 man

70 kg of rice for 10 days = 140 ÷ 10 = 14 men
