Question

In a scout camp, there is food provision for 300 cadets for 42 days. If 50 more persons join the camp, for how many days will the provision last? solve by Direct or inverse variation​

Answer 1

300×42=12600

now the constant is 12600

°=350*×=12600

°=12600=350=×

°=36

Answer 2

Answer:

the food will be sufficient for 36 days

Step-by-step explanation:

By using inverse and direct proportion method:

X1*Y1=X2*Y2

Now,

X1= 300

Y1= 42 days

X2= 350

Y2 = x days

so,

300*42 = 350*x

300*42/350 = x

36 = x

So , the no. of days 350 candidates can survive with the given food in camp will be 36 days
