Answer 1

Given,

The garrison had food for 460 soldiers for 40 days.

After 10 days, 140 soldiers join the fort.

To find,

The number of days that the food supply will last.

Solution,

The 10 days were already passed,so the remaining days for the initial number of soldiers = (40-10) = 30 days

New number of soldiers = 460+140 = 600

Now, we can easily solve this mathematical problem by using the normal arithmetic method.

There is food for,

460 soldiers for = 30 days

1 soldier for = 30×460 days

600 soldiers for = 30×460/600 = 23 days

Hence, the food supply will last for 23 days.
