Answer:
24 days
Step-by-step explanation:
8 people eat 20 kg in 30 days
So 1 person will eat 20/8 kg =2.5 kg in 30 days.
In 30 days 2.5kg rice is eaten by one person
In 1 day 2.5/30 kg will be required by 1 person
So 2.5/30 kg x 10 people = 25/30 kg will be required every day for 10 people (as two more people joined them)
20 kg rice will last for 20 / (25/30) =
20 x 30/25 = 24 days ...
