Question

the stock of grain in Warehouse last 5 days for 18 men how many days will it last for 24 days​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.75 days or

3 and three-fourth days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the grain consumed by 1 man in 1 day be denoted by "unit".

The warehouse has stock of grain that will last for 18 men for 5 days.

Hence, the stock of grain is worth 18*5 = 90 units

We want to find out how many days will the stock of 90 units last for 24 men.

Let that number be "x".

Hence:

24 * x = 90

x = 90/24

x = 3.75

The stock will last for 3.75 or 3$\frac{3}{4}$ days.
