In a camp ,there is a meal for 120 men or 200 children . if 150 children have taken the meal, how many men will be catered to with remaining meal
To find out how many men will be catered to with the remaining meal, we need to determine the ratio of men to children in terms of meals.
Given that there is a meal for 120 men or 200 children, we can set up the following ratio:
120 men : 200 children
To find the number of men that can be catered to with the remaining meal, we need to use this ratio to calculate the proportion of men to children.
First, we need to find out how many children can be catered to with the given number of meals. Since 150 children have already taken the meal, we have:
200 children - 150 children = 50 children
Now, we can set up a proportion to find out how many men the remaining meal can cater to:
120 men / 200 children = x men / 50 children
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
120 * 50 = 200 * x
6000 = 200 * x
Dividing both sides by 200:
6000 / 200 = x
30 = x
Therefore, the remaining meal can cater to 30 men.
