Answer 2

Answer:

The provision will last in 22 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that in an army camp, there were provisions for 550 men for 28 days.

It means total provision is

$T=550\times 28=15400$            .... (1)

Let there were provisions for 700 men for x days.

It means total provision is

$T=700\times x=700x$                ..... (2)

From (1) and (2), we get

$15400=700x$

$\frac{15400}{700}=x$

$22=x$

Therefore the provision will last in 22 days.
