Question

If 42 persons consume 144 kg of rice in 45 days; then in how many days will 30 persons
consume 48 kg of rice?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rice consumed by 42 people = 144kg (Given)

Rice consumed by 42 people in days = 45 (Given)

Let 30 people consume 48 kgs of rice in days = x

According to the formula -

M1D1/W1 = M2D2/W2

where M is the number of men, D is the number of days and W is the week.

Thus, as per the formula

42 × 15/144 = 30×x/48

= 7 × 5/8 = 5x/8

= x = 7

Therefore, 30 persons consume 48 kg of rice in 7 days.

Hope it helps.
