ONE man would need 45*150=6750 days to eat all of this one set or provision of food. This one-man consumption rate is provision of food per days.

The described situation:
150 men consumed for 10 days and then 150-25=125 men consumed for unknown t days.

This is according to RT=J for rate, time, the job of consuming the food,
----which takes the whole provision of food and counts it as ONE.

The 150 and the 125 are used because they are counting how many men are consuming food in each term. Solve for t.
