Question

At an adventure camp there is suffesient
Food to last 6 days for 48 students if 12 students are absent from the camp then
How many more days can the food last for the students

Answer 1

hey friend....

here is ur answer....

first lets learn the formula for inverse proportion. as the number of students decrease the number of days will increase.

X1:Y1=X2:Y2

X is the number of students
Y is the number of days.

in this it will be X1Y1=X2Y2

so

$48 \times 6 = 36 \times x$

so,

$288 = 36x$

$x = \frac{288}{36}$

$x = 8days$

hope this helps!
