The other tutor irks me at times.  He doesn't know anything 
about certain areas of mathematics, so when somebody posts
two problems and he can solve only one of them he deletes 
the one he cannot solve.

Your other problem was this:

When a certain integer is divided by 108 the remainder is 79.
What is the remainder when it is divided by 18?

Let the certain integer be N.  Then we use:

DIVIDEND = QUOTIENT×DIVISOR + REMAINDER

N = Q×108 + 79

N = 108Q + 79

Therefore when 108Q+79 is divided by 18,

 =  = 

Thus the remainder will always be 7.

----------------------------------------

For the other problem, here is another way to approach it:

60 men consume 120 kg of rice in 44 days.
Therefore
 
30 men consume 60 kg of rice in 44 days.
30 men consume 30 kg of rice in 22 days.
----------------------------------------
30 men consume 90 kg of rice in 66 days.
