Answer 1

Answer:

it is the question of 8 math

Answer 2

The rice will last for 15 days for 42 people.

Total amount of rice = 420 kgs (Given)

Number of people = 98 (Given)

Number of days = 45 (Given)

Therefore, according to the question -

Since it is in direct proportion = 60/420

= 1/7

The number of rice will decrease, if people will increase -

Thus, - 98/42 ( Indirect Proportion)

x = 45 × 1/7 × 98/42

x = 45 × 14 / 42

x = 630/42

x = 15

Thus, the rice will last for 15 days.
