760 men can eat food in 22 days. After 2 days how many man came so that they eat food in 19 days.
At the beginning, there are 22*760=16720 food days.
After 2 days, there are 20*760=15200 food days left.
If this should last only 19 days, it will feed 15200/19=80 persons.
You can therefore figure out how many more people came (in addition to the original 76).
To find out how many more men need to join after 2 days in order for them to finish eating the food in 19 days, we can follow these steps:
1. Calculate the initial rate at which men consume food per day:
- 760 men can eat the food in 22 days.
- Therefore, the rate at which men consume food per day is given by:
Rate = Total men / Total days
Rate = 760 men / 22 days
2. Determine how much food is left after 2 days:
- After 2 days, the remaining food can be calculated using the equation:
Remaining food = Initial rate * Remaining days
Remaining food = Rate * (Total days - 2)
3. Calculate the required rate of consumption to finish the food in 19 days:
- Since we want to finish the food in 19 days, the required rate of consumption can be found using the equation:
Required rate = Remaining food / Remaining days
4. Determine the number of men needed to achieve the required rate of consumption:
- The number of men required can be calculated using the equation:
Required men = Required rate * Remaining days
By following these steps, we can find the number of men needed after 2 days to finish eating the food in 19 days.
