Let x = food or meal
Thus the share of each men is x/120.
And the share of each children in x/200.
It was said in the problem that 150 children took the meal, so the total meal taken by these children is number of children multiplied by the share of each:
150 * x/200 = 3x / 4 = 0.75x
There are x meals total, so the remaining is
x - 0.75x = 0.25x
Divide this by the share of each men to get the number of men that can consume the remaining meal:
0.25x / (x/120) = 30 men
