Answer:

24 days

Explanation:

120 students =30 days

120+30 =150 students

MORE/LESS METHOD

120 students (a) : 30 days(y)

150 students (b) : x

Find the value of x using the formula: a/b × y

If you think the value of x will be more than y then the bigger number will be the numerator. If u think x will be less, then the smaller number will be in the numerator.

I predict that x will be less than y

THEREFORE... 120/150 ×30

= 24 days
