Hi there !!

We are given the number of days food lasts for 14 employees

SO ,
we can find how many days will the food last for 1 employee

No: of days food lasts for 14 employees = 30

No: of days food lasts for 1 employee = $\frac{30}{14} days$

No: of days foo would last for 14 employees = $\frac{30}{14}$ x 4

= 8.57
= 9 days [ approx.]
