can anyone pls answer this pls

Answer 1

Answer:

the food will last for 15 days

Answer 2

Answer:

15 days

Step-by-step explanation:

let x denotes number of foods.

from question, sufficient food for 250 students for 18 days means

x / 250 = 18

=> x = 18 * 250 = 4500

so there are 4500 packets of food

Now if 50 more students are added, then total number of students become (250+50) = 300 students

To find how many days 300 students would finish the food we need to,

x / 300 = (? days)

we know, x = 4500

4500/300 = 15 days
