Answer:

If there were only 100 students, there would be enough food for 3 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable x = number of days

150/5 = 100/x

Cross multiply:

150 × x = 5 × 100

150x = 500

x = 3.3333...

Round down to a whole number which represents a full day of food.

x = 3
