Question

Food in a camp lasts for 8 men for 29 weeks . How long would the food last for 7 hours ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add two more men, then you have to divide the food 10 ways, instead of 8. Basically, each of the 8 have to give up 20% of their rations to feed the other 2 men, and to have all 10 people receive equal rations.

This means that the 29 weeks would also be reduced by a factor of 20%, resulting in the 23.2 weeks of worth of rations.
