Question

Food provision for 225 people in a hostel is for 30 days. How long will the provision last if 72 people leave the hostel

Answer 1

Answer:

9.6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

for 225 people provision will last for 30 days

so for 72 people let the number of days the provision will last be x

225 --> 30

72 ---> x

By cross multiplication,

225x=72*30

x= (72 * 30)/225

x= 2160/225

x=9.6

Therefore provision will last for 9.6  (approximately 10 days) for 72 people
