Question

the social worker thought he had enough food to feed 18 children for 6 days. if there were 27 children, how long would the food last?

Answer 1

Answer:

4 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the food will now last for x days. Then,

Number of students 18 27

Number of days 6 x

Clearly, more is the number of students, less will be the number of days for food to last.

So, it is a case inverse proportion.

18×6=27x

x = 18×6/27

x = 4
