Question

5 In a hostel, 150 students consume 2700 kg of rice in a month. How much rice will be required for 100 students in a month?​

Answer 1

Unitary Method

150 students => 2700 Kg of rice.

1 student => 2700/150 Kg = 18 Kg of rice.

100 student => 18 × 100 = 1800 Kg of rice

Answer 2

Answer:

1800 kg

Explanation:

Amount of rice consumed by 150 students in a

month = 2700 kg

Amount of rice consumed by one student in a

month = 2700 kg ÷ 150 = 18 kg

so, 1 student consumed 18 kg rice in month

Therefore 100 student consumed 1800 kg of rice

in a month ( 18 kg × 100 )
