Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

500

Step-by-step explanation:

Each soldier requires 5 ounces of protein each day

total number of soldiers = 600

time = 5 weeks = 5 x 7 = 35 days

total Provision required = 600 x 5 x 35 ounces = 105000 ounces

Let the number of soldiers be P.

So, total provision = number of soldiers x time x protein required per soldier

105000 = P x 10 x 7 x 3

P = 500

Thus, the soldiers are 500.
