Write with statements

Answer 1

Sugar used is 1/6th of 72 ==== 72/6= 12kg

Sugar Remaining -- Total sugar - sugar used=== 72-12=== 60kg

Answer 2

The total sugar is 72 kg

Out of 72 kg, 1/6th of the sugar was used

We have to find the sugar used and the sugar remained

Sugar used = (1/6) × 72

                   = 12 kg

So, 12 kg of sugar was used

Sugar remained = total sugar - sugar remained

                            = 72 - 12

                           = 60 kg

Hence, the sugar remained will be 60 kg
