For 54 (72-18) people remaining the food will last for two extra days than the usual. i.e the

food will last for 8 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

For 72 people the food lasts for 6 days. For 1 person the food will last for 6/72 days.

Answer 2

Answer: 6.75 days

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of Athletes = 72

No. of athletes absent = 8

Remaining athletes = 72 - 8 = 64

For 72 athletes food lasts for = 6 days

For 1 athlete food lasts for = 72 x 6 = 432 days

For 64 athletes food lasts for = 432/64 = 6.75 days
