At a school camp there is enough food for 150 students for 5 days. a How long would the food last if there were only 100
students?

7.5 days or 7 days (round down)

Step-by-step explanation:

STEP ONE: Find the total number of food in 5 days

150 students

5 days

150 × 5 = 750 unit of foods

In another word, there is enough food for 750 students in one day.

STEP TWO: Find the days this amount of food would last for 100 students

750 unit of food

100 students

750 ÷ 100 = 7.5 days

7.5 (round down) = 7 days

**Disclaimer** Rounding down to 7 days means that these food are enough for all 100 students for a whole day. If keeping 7.5 days, this would mean either the students would not be full, or there would only be half of the student body could get food. From my knowledge, I would round down. HOWEVER, this all depends on the rules that you would apply in mathematics.

Hope this helps!! :)
