Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

A tenth of a ham.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Ham requires 10 people to make it and takes 1 month.

the population of the town is 100, so the quantity of ham we can produce is given by:

$\frac{Total People}{people required} = \frac{100}{10} = 10$

Acording to the last result, we can produce 10 hams per month.

if the total of people is 100, and the hams produced was 10, each people can consume:

$\frac{hams}{people} = \frac{10}{100} = 0.1$
