Question

16 horses can consume a certain quantity of corn in 25 days. In how many days would the same quantity be consumed by 40 horses?

Answer 1

From the question,

16 horses can consume a certain quantity of corn in 25 days

1 horse can consume a certain quantity of corn = (16 × 25)

∴ Number of days taken by 40 horses to consume same quantity of corn = (16 × 25) / 40

= 10 days
