Question
In an army camp, there were provisions for 425 men for 30 days. How long did the provisions last for 375 men?
Solution
Number of days for which provisions last for 425 men = 30 days
Number of days for which provisions last for 1 men = 30 × 425 = 12750 days. (less men means more days)
Number of days for which provisions last for 375 men = `12750/375` = 34 days
Hence, provisions will last for 34 days for 375 men.
