Answer 1

Answer:

4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

total amount of food at the begining=8*1200

                                                              =9600

Amount of food consumed in 3 days=3*1200

                                                              =3600

Remaining amount of food in 3 days=9600-3600

                                                              =6000

Total number of sildiers after first 3 days=1200+300

                                                                     =1500

Number of weeks the provision would be lasted= 6000/1500

                                                                                =4 weeks

Answer is 4 weeks
