Question

in a camp there is sufficient food of 150 soldiers for 45 days after 10 days 25 soldiers left the camp how long would the food last

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I think the food will last for 42 days more.

Let us assume that each men consume one packet of food in a day.

Then, for 150 men for 45 days. There will be 150×45 = 6750 packets.

For 10 days packets consumed is :

150×10 = 1500 packets

Packets left is:

6750 - 1500= 5250 packets

No. of men left after 10 days is 125 men.

So, no. of days = 5250 ÷ 125= 42 days

Answer 2

Alet every soldiers eats 1 kg

So total food for 45 = 150×45= 6750 kg

After 10 days food left =

6750 - (150×10)

=5250

Soldiers present in camp =

150-25=125

So food avaiblity = 5250/125= 42 days

Food is available for 42 days.
