Question

a garisson of 48 men has enough food for 45 days how long would this last if the garrison is reduced by1/4 of its number

Answer 1

HI BUDDY

The men and the days are inversely proportional so,
XY = XY
48 X 45 = 1/4 X 48 X X
2160 = 12 X x
So, X = 2160/12
= 180 days

HOPE THIS HELPS

Answer 2

Answer:

Men Days

48 has enough food for 45

1 has enough good for (45 × 48)

36 has enough food for (45 × 48) ÷ 36

= 60 Days

Ans: The food will last for 60 days if the garrison is reduced by 1/4 of its number.

Rough Work:

48 × 1/4 = 12

48 - 12 = 36
