Some food is able to keep 150 students fed at camp for 5 days, How many days will the food last for if there are 100 students,

I know its 7.5 but why do people x the 150 and 5 i dont get it

x=7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

s is for students

d is for days

150 s take 5 days to finish food

if there are 100 s how many days will the same amount of food take

so 150 students × 5 days = 750 equation 1

100 students × x days= 100x equation 2

750 from 1 = 100 x from 2

750÷100=x

x=7.5 days

you would need to know all the numbers that are on there

step-by-step explanation:

its 60

4 x 12 = 48

3 x 4 = 12

48 + 12 = 60

yeeeet
