Answer 1

Answer:

your answer will be like this

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 1 person consume 'x' food in 1 day

1 person 1 day → x

4000 people 1 day →4000x

4000 people 30 days →4000x×30

Total food =4000x×30

Let no. of days be y

6000 people, 1 day →6000x

6000 people, y days →6000xy

Total food =6000xy

So 4000x×30=6000xy

y=

6000

4000×30

y=20days.

Answer 2

Let 1 person consume 'x' food in 1 day

1 person 1 day → x

4000 people 1 day →4000x

4000 people 30 days →4000x×30

Total food =4000x×30

Let no. of days be y

6000 people, 1 day →6000x

6000 people, y days →6000xy

Total food =6000xy

So 4000x×30=6000xy

y=

6000

4000×30

y=20days.
