Answer 2

Answer:

Food will supply to 800 people for 2.25 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, if $x_1$ persons consume an amount of food in $n_1$ time  and $x_2$ persons consume the same amount of food in $n_2$ time,

Then,

$x_1\times n_1=x_2\times n_2$

Here, $x_1=600, n_1 = 3, x_2=800$

By substituting the values,

$600\times 3 = 800n_2$

$1800 = 800n_2$

$\implies n_2 = \frac{1800}{800}=2.25$

Hence, food will supply to 800 people for 2.25 weeks
