Question

(solving rates) At a school camp

there is enough

food for 150

students for 5

days. a How long

would the food last

if there were only

100 students? b If

the food ran out

after only 4 days,

how many

students attended

the camp?

Answer 1

5 days food for 150 students suggests there was 750 day rations

If there was 100 students this would last 750/100 = 7.5 days.

If it ran out after 4 days there were 750/4 = 187 students (187.5 not valid)
