This is inverse variation..the side of 'x' will be reversed..

425. x
375. 30

30*425/375=x
34=x

Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

34 days

● Explanation -

Given that provisions were for 425 men for 30 days however, 375 men attended the camp.

Let x be no of days provisions last.

425 × 30 = 375 × x

x = 425 × 30 / 375

x = 34 days

Hence, provisions will last for 34 days to 375 days.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
