The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how long the provisions will last for 375 men, given that they were initially sufficient for 425 men for 30 days. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Calculate the total provisions available in man-days:** - If provisions are enough for 425 men for 30 days, we can calculate the total provisions in terms of man-days. - Total provisions = Number of men × Number of days - Total provisions = 425 men × 30 days = 12,750 man-days. 2. **Determine how many days the provisions will last for 375 men:** - Now, we need to find out how many days these 12,750 man-days will last for 375 men. - Let the number of days the provisions last for 375 men be \( x \). - We can set up the equation: \[ 375 \text{ men} \times x \text{ days} = 12,750 \text{ man-days} \] 3. **Solve for \( x \):** - Rearranging the equation gives: \[ x = \frac{12,750 \text{ man-days}}{375 \text{ men}} \] - Now, perform the division: \[ x = 34 \text{ days} \] ### Final Answer: The provisions will last for **34 days** for 375 men. ---
