Answer 1

Answer:8 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is only 1 person then, it will last for =

10*20

200days

New no. of persons=20+5=25 persons

It will last for

200/25

8 days

Answer 2

Answer:

number of people =20

number of days =10

new number of people=20 +5=25

new number of days =x

the number of people and the number of days is in indirect proportion.

therefore 20X10=25Xx

=x=20X10/25

=x=4X2/1 (when you do cancellation)

=x=8 days

therefore it takes 8 days for the food to finish
