Answer 1

2.3 Kg of pulse is enough on Saturday at the time of mid day meals if 46 students were present.

Step-by-step explanation:

Quantity of pulse required for 60 students = 3 Kg.

Quantity of pulse required for a student = $\frac{3}{60}$ Kg.

Quantity of pulse required for 46 students = $\frac{3}{60} \times 46$  Kg

                                                                       = $\frac{23}{10}$ Kg

                                                                       = 2.3 Kg

Hence, 2.3 Kg of pulse is enough on Saturday at the time of mid day meals if 46 students were present.
