A garrison of 1500 men has previsions for 48 days. how long would they last if after 13 days it is reinforced by 660 men?
1 answer:
Answer:
24.30 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Let one person consume x kgs in a day
No. of Men = 1500
Total available provision for 48 days = 48 x 1500x
Thus the provision consumed in 13 days = 13 x 1500x
Remaining Provision = Total Provision – consumed provision
= 72000x – 19500x
=52500x
Now 660 men were added , Hence total strength will be 1500+660 = 2160
Provision consumed in one day = 2160x
Provision left = 52500x
Hence number of days for which provision can run
=24.30 days
Hence the provison will end for 24.30 more days

The inequality that represents the graph in the box is
Given :
The graph of the linear inequality
Lets pick two points from the graph to frame the linear equation
Slope intercept form of the equation is
Where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
y intercept is (0,6) from the graph
so b=6
Now we find out slope m using formula
Pick two points (0,6) and (2,0)
m=-3
So the equation is
Now we check the inequality sign by testing any point on shaded area
lets pick (4,0)
lets plug in 4 for x and 0 for y
The inequality for the given graph is
we cannot use >= sign because we have dotted lines
