Question

A barrack has food stuck for 45 days for 250 soldiers if the number of soldiers is increased in 300,for how many days the food last?

Answer 1

Here it is given that the food in the barrack would last for 45 days for 250 soldiers

We have to find out the number of days this food will last if there are 300 soldiers

Let us assume the food will last for x days

We will use inverse proportion

for 250 soldiers food lasts = 45 days

for 300 soldiers the food lasts = x days

250 × 45 = 300x

11250 = 300 x

x = 11250/300

= 37.5

Hence, the food will last for 37 and a half day for 300 soldiers
