The food can provide for 500 men for 30 days
⇒ 500 men = 30 days
After 25 days:
Number of days the provision can last = 30 - 25 = 5 days
After 2000 men joined in:
Number of men = 2000 + 500 = 2500
Find the number of days the food can last if there is only 1 man:
500 men = 5 days
1 man = 5 x 500 = 2500 days
Find the number of days the food can last if there are 2500 man:
1 man = 2500 days
2500 men = 2500 ÷ 2500 = 1 day
Answer: The food can last 1 day
