Question

for 15 men, the provision will last for 30 days. for how many men the same provisions will last for 45 days?

Answer 1

The provision can last for 30 days for 15 men:

30 days : 15 men (Given)

.

Find the number of men the provision can provide for 1 day:

30 ÷ 30 days : 15 ÷ 30 men

1 day : 1/2 man

.

Find the number of men the provision can provide for 45 day:

1 day : 1/2 man

45 days : 1/2 x 45 men

45 days : 22.5 men

.

Since it it not possible to have 0.5 man, the 45 days provision can last for 22 men only.

.

Answer: 22 men
