Answer:
30 days
Step-by-step explanation:
75-15 = 60
as the number of people decrease the no of days the flour will last will increase therefore it is indirect proportion
x = no of people
y = no of days food will last
x1 = 75
y1 = 24
x2 = 60
y2 = unkown
x1 * y1 = x2 * y2
75 * 24 = 60 * ?
75 * 24/60 = ?
30 = y2
therefore the flour will last for 30 days
