If 4 men in 5 days eat 7 pounds of bread how much will be sufficient for 16 me in 15 days
Solution: Since 4 men in 5 days eat 7 pounds of bread. Therefore 1 men in 1 day eats [tex]\frac{7}{4 \times 5}=\frac{7}{20}[/tex] pound of bread
Now the required bread for 16 men in 15 days is:
[tex]\frac{7}{20} \times 16 \times 15=\frac{1680}{20} =84[/tex] pounds
Therefore, 84 pounds of bread will be sufficient for 16 men in 15 days
