Question

a hostel has enough food to feed 250 students for 30 days . how long will the food last for 300 students

Answer 1

Given that:

• A hostel has enough food to feed 250 students for 30 days.

To Find:

• How long will the food last for 300 students?

Let us assume:

• The food will last for 300 students in x days.

Formula used:

• S₁ × D₁ = S₂ × D₂

Where,

• S₁ = Number of students = 250
• D₁ = Number of days = 30
• S₂ = Number of students = 300
• D₂ = Number of days = x

Finding the value of x:

ㅤ↠ㅤ250 × 30 = 300 × x

ㅤ↠ㅤ7500 = 300x

ㅤ↠ㅤx = 7500/300

ㅤ↠ㅤx = 25

Hence,

• The food will last for 300 students in 25 days.
