You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.
Also there is rate time job relationship. The job is consuming the remaining 9-day food.

20 students_________1/9__________9____________1
