Answer:
20 days.
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case we must make an inverse proportionality rule, it is inverse because the fewer people there are, the more days must survive. In other words, we know that 2000 people can resist for 15 days, now, if there are no longer 2000 people, but 500 less, that is, 1500 (2000 - 500) how many days can they resist.
people days
2000 15
1500 x
x = 2000 * 15/1500
x = 20
That is, they could last 20 days.
