9 days left to go, with 10 more students, the consumption rate is 50% FASTER. This is and intuition suggests 6 days. The now 30 students will finish the food remaining in 6 days instead of 9 days.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Also there is rate time job relationship. The job is consuming the remaining 9-day food. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Count Students______rate_________days_________job
\n" ); document.write( "20 students_________1/9__________9____________1
\n" ); document.write( "30 students________1.5/9________( 6 )_________1\r
