Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFGiven Data:
Initial number of students = 96
Food for = 5 days
Additional students = 64
Concept:
The number of students and the number of days are inversely proportional.
Calculation:
Total number of students now = Initial number of students + Additional students
⇒ Total students = 96 + 64 = 160
Number of days food will last = (Initial number of students × Initial number of days) / Total number of students
⇒ Days = (96 × 5) / 160 = 3 days
Therefore, the food items would last for 3 days.
