( DIRECT AND INVERSE QUESTION ) 1000 soldiers in a fort had enough food for 20 days. But some soldiers were transferred to another fort and the food lasted for 25 days. How many soldiers were transferred?

Answer 1

Answer:

soldiers transferred= 800

Step-by-step explanation:

soldiers    1000        x

days          20           25

if the number of soldiers is less then the days food will last will be more

therefore, it is inversely proportional

1000*20=25x

20000=25x

x=800

Answer 2

Answer:

x=800

Step-by-step explanation:

soldiers =1000

fort had enough food for = 20 days

some soldiers were transferred soo the food lasted till =25 days

1000×20 = 25×x

1000×20/25=x

800=x
