Answer:

6 days

Step-by-step explanation:

A basket of food is sufficient to feed 10 persons for 3 days.

<h2>:- Question</h2>

How many days would it last for 5 persons ?

<h2>:- Solution</h2>

10 persons = 3 days

5 persons = x

$\frac{10}{5} = \frac{x}{3}$

2 = x/3

2 × 3 = x

6 = x

x = 6

5 persons = 6 days

Answer:

6 days the food would last for 5 persons.

Step-by-step explanation:

It would take double the days normally, as less people.

10 persons → 3 days

1 persons → (3 * 10) days

→ 30 days

5 persons → 30/5

→ 6 days

Solve each equation. Record your work and check your solution. <br> a. 5(x-2)+(-9)= -7(1-x)

Daniel [21]

The solution for equation is x = -6

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

<em><u>Given equation is:</u></em>

$5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)$

We have to solve the equation

According to Bodmas rule, if an expression contains brackets ((), {}, []) we have to first solve or simplify the bracket followed by of (powers and roots etc.), then division, multiplication, addition and subtraction from left to right

Therefore, solve for brackets in given equation

$5(x-2) + (-9) = -7(1-x)\\\\5x - 10 -9 = -7 + 7x$

Solve for terms in left hand side of equation

$5x - 19 = -7+7x$

Move the variables to one side and constants to other side

$7x -5x = -19+7\\\\2x = -12\\\\Divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 2\\\\x = -6$

Thus the solution for equation is x = -6
