Question

A hostel had rations for 60 days for 500 students after 12 days 300 more students join the hostel mess how long will the remaining ration last

Answer 1

number of ration =60×500
=30000

number of ration for 12 days =12×500
=6000

rations rest =30000-6000
=24000

then 300 students extra joined,so total students =500+300
=800

days for which the rest rations will satisfy the students =24000÷800
=30 day

Answer 2

Given : A hostel had rations for 60 days for 500 students after 12 days 300 more students join the hostel mess.

To find : How long will the remaining ration last?

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the required time period)

Here, we will be using general arithmetic method.

After 12 days,

500 students had rations for = (60-12) = 48 days

But, after 12 days,

The number of students = (500+300) = 800

So,

500 students have rations for = 48 days

1 student has rations for = (500 × 48) days

800 students have rations for = (500 × 48)/800 = 30 days

(This will be considered as the final result.)

Hence, the remaining rations will last for 30 days.
