Q5 of 26 Page 100

There was a stock of food grains for 9 days to cater the needs of 4000 people at a shelter camp in Mongalpur village. After 3 days 1000 people left the camp for another place. Let’s work out using the Rule of three method in how many days the rest of the people will consume the remaining food grains.

theorem1:-


The Rule of Three is a Mathematical Rule that allows you to solve problems based on proportions. By having three numbers: a, b, c,


(a)Direct proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


(b)inverse proportions rule of 3:-


if ab


c then


formula:- (i)direct method----


(ii)indirect or inverse proportions xy=k


given:- method used is called indirect or inverse proportions method


In a shelter camp of 4000 people have food 9 days.
4000× 9 =36,000 ration available
After 3 days 1000 men went away to another place.
in this, 3 days,


4000× 3 = 12000 ration consumed
36000 - 12000 = 24000 ration remain


Let d = no. of days
(4000-1000)d = 24000
3000d = 24000


d=12days
