Question

15405 kg wheat was distributed equally among families ou
village, If each family got 36 kg of wheat, how many families
were there in the village?​

Answer 1

Answer:

428 families

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of families in the village be 'x'.

According to the question, each family received 36 kg of wheat.

Total wheat that was distributed was 15,405 kg

⇒ Total wheat = Number of families × Wheat distributed for 1 family

⇒ 15,405 = x × 36

⇒ 36x = 15,405

⇒ x = 15,405 / 36

⇒ x = 427.9 ≈ 428 families.

Hence there were approximately 428 families in the village.

Answer 2

Let x be the number of families in the village

According to the question,

15405 kg wheat was distributed equally among families

Each family got 36 kg of wheat

So,

Total wheat = Number of families × Wheat distributed for 1 family

15405 = x × 36

36x = 15405

x = 15405/36

x = 427.9

There are 428 families in the village
