Question

180kg of beans is divided into 2 sacks such that one sack is twice as heavy as the other. How heavy is each sack of beans?

Answer 1

According to the question, ratio of weight is 2:1

So, sum of ratio=2+1=3

Therefore,

Weight of 1 bag=(2/3)×180 kg=120 kg

Weight of the other bag=(1/3)×180 kg=60 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

The concept of division will help us to solve this question.

Given:

The total weight of beans is $180kg$ . These beans are divided into $2$ sacks.One sack is twice heavy as the other.

To Find:

We have to find the wights of each sack from the given data.

Solution:

Consider the weight of one sack is $x kg$ and another sack is $2x kg$ .

Total weight of the beans is $180kg$ .

Now the expression will be $x+2x=180$ .

After the sum of L.H.S we will get $3x=180$.

The value of $x$ is $x=\frac{180}{3} =60$.

The weight of one sack is $60 kg$ .

The weight of another sack is $2 \times 60=120 kg$.
