Answer 1

Answer:

10 days

Step-by-step explanation:

For 200 soldiers, food lasts for = 30 days.

For 1 soldier, food lasts for = (30 × 200) days.

Since 400 more soldiers join the camp, so, now the number of soldiers = ( 200 + 400) = 600.

For 600 soldiers, food lasts for–

$\sf = \frac{30 \times 200}{600} \: days$

$\sf = 10 \: days$
