Question

An army camp of 200 men has enough food for 60 days. How long
will the food last if the number of men in the camp is reduced to
160?​

Answer 1

Answer:

number of peoples in army camp is 200.food which is fixed for them is 60days

200 peoples reduced into 160

decrease in people=200-160

=40 persons

let us find in percentage

40/200*100=20% decrease

population decrease leads to increase in food for less peoples.

so,20% of 60 days=20/100*60=12

peoples.

let's add them in such a way that

60+12=72

hence food will last for 72 days if number of peoples reduced to 160.

Answer:

75 Days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's check it with the proportion method:
Men : Days (for food to last)
200 : 60
160 :
200 =  
160  = 60
So,
200 x 60 = 160 x
12000      = 160
12000      =
 160
75             =
So, if the men are reduced to 160, the food will last for 75 days.
