Question

in a mess, 240 soldiers consume 720kg of rice in 10 days. How many kilograms of rice will be consumed by 350 soldiers in 8 days​

Answer 1

hey mate here is your answer:

Firstly, you've to check whether given statement ascertain proportionity.

here,

it's direct variation...

so,

we can use unitary method:

240 soldiers consume--------->720kg in 10days

then,

350 soldiers will consume--------->xkg in 10days

$= > x = \frac{720 \times 350}{240}$

$= > x = 1050kg$

If,

350 soldiers consume 1050kg------>in 10days

then,

350 soldiers will consume ykg------->8days

$= > y = \frac{1050 \times 8}{10}$

$= > y = 840kg$
