​

Answer 1

22 days

Explanation:

Given data

Number of students= 50

Number of days= 32days

We want to find the number of students that can have food for 14days

If 50 students will have food for 32 days

x students will have food for 14 days

cross multiply

32*x= 14*50

32x= 700

x= 700/32

x=21.8

Hence 14 students will have for 22 days
