QUESTION :

Hostel has enough food for 125 students for 16 days how long will the food last If 75 more students join them?

ANSWER:

If there are 125 students the food will last for 16 days.

If there is 1 student the food will last for (125 × 16)days.

If there are (125 +75 = 200) students the food will last for

(125 × 16 / 200 )days = 10 days.

Therefore the food will last for 10days if 75 more students come.

Answer 2

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, the no of students = 125 +75

=20

It is a direct variation

x/y =k

So,

let the no of days = x

125 × 16 = 200 × x

125 × 16 ÷ 200 = x

10 = x
