A school has provisions for 80 students for 15 days. If 20 more students join, how many days will the provisions last?

Show answer

12 days

More students mean fewer days, so use inverse proportion. Total student-days = 80 × 15 = 1200. For 100 students, days = 1200 ÷ 100 = 12 days.

5 workers can move 4500 bricks in a day. How many workers are needed to move 18000 bricks in a day?

Show answer

20 workers

This is direct proportion. Use the rule of three: 4500 : 18000 :: 5 : x. So x = (18000 × 5) ÷ 4500 = 20 workers.

2 pumps fill a tank in 18 hours. How long will 4 pumps of the same kind take to fill the same tank?

Show answer

9 hours

Pumps and time are inversely proportional. Product stays constant: 2 × 18 = 4 × x. So x = 36 ÷ 4 = 9 hours.
