Question
A given quantity of rice is sufficient for 60 persons for 3 days. How many days would the rice last for 18 persons?
Solution
Number of days for which the given quantity of rice is sufficient for 60 persons = 3 days
Number of days for which it is sufficient for 1 person = 3 × 60 = 180 days (less men means more days )
Number of days for which it is sufficient for 18 persons = `180/18` = 10 days
