Answer 2

Answer:

food will last for 24 days when there are 500 people in the group

Step-by-step explanation:

given, there is sufficient food for 400 people for 30 days

now, 100 more people are added to the group

so, total number of people= 400+100 = 500

as the number of people increase, food will last for less number of days

let x be the number of days food will last for 500 people

then,

people (x) 400 500

days (y) 30 x

x1y1 = x2y2

400 × 30 = 500x

$x = \frac{400 \times 30}{500}$

x = 24 days

therefore, food will last for 24 days when there are 500 people in the group
