Question

A hostel has enough food for 75 students for 32 days.How long will the food last if 35 students leave the hostel?

Answer 1

75/32= days of food for 1 student
75-35=30 students
75/32 * 30
food will last for 70.1 days

Answer 2

Answer:

Hence, The same food will last for 80 days if 35 students leave the hostel.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hostel has enough food for 75 students for 32 days

So, Food for days can be calculated by finding the product of both the given quantities.

⇒ Food - days for 75 students for 32 days = 75 × 32

                                                                       = 2400

Now, if 35 students leave the hostel we need to find the number of days for which the same food will last

So, after 35 students leave the hostel, the number of students left in the hostel = 75 - 35 = 30

Now, Number of days for which the food will last = 2400/30 = 80

Hence, The same food will last for 80 days if 35 students leave the hostel.
