Solution

Sure, let's break down the problem step by step to find out how long the wheat will last for the soldiers.

  1. Total Wheat in Storehouse: The king has a total of 45,750 kg of wheat grains in his storehouse.

  2. Wheat Consumed by People: The total consumption of wheat by the people is 5,790 kg.

  3. Wheat Remaining for Soldiers: To find out how much wheat is left for the soldiers, we subtract the wheat consumed by the people from the total wheat: Wheat remaining for soldiers=45,750kg5,790kg=39,960kg \text{Wheat remaining for soldiers} = 45,750 \, \text{kg} - 5,790 \, \text{kg} = 39,960 \, \text{kg}

  4. Daily Consumption by Each Soldier: Each soldier eats 3 kg of wheat per day.

  5. Total Number of Soldiers: There are 30 soldiers.

  6. Total Daily Consumption by All Soldiers: To find out the total daily consumption of wheat by all soldiers, we multiply the daily consumption per soldier by the number of soldiers: Total daily consumption=30soldiers×3kg/soldier/day=90kg/day \text{Total daily consumption} = 30 \, \text{soldiers} \times 3 \, \text{kg/soldier/day} = 90 \, \text{kg/day}

  7. Duration for Which Wheat Will Last: To find out how many days the wheat will last for the soldiers, we divide the total wheat remaining for the soldiers by the total daily consumption: Duration=39,960kg90kg/day=444days \text{Duration} = \frac{39,960 \, \text{kg}}{90 \, \text{kg/day}} = 444 \, \text{days}

So, the wheat will last for the soldiers for 444 days.
