b.6. women for 3 days?​

Answer 1

Answer:

a. 1.2 kg of rice

b. 2.25 kg of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

5 men can eat 1kg (1000gm) of rice per day

so, 1 men can eat 0.2kg per day.

Also, 8 women can eat 1kg(1000gm) of rice per day

so, 1 women can eat 0.125kg per day.

(a) 3 men for 2 days

since, 1 men needs 0.2kg for 1 day

3 men will require = 3×0.2 kg = 0.6kg (for 1 day)

so, for 2 days 3 men will require = 0.6×2 =1.2kg

(b) 6 women for 3 days

since, 1 women needs 0.125kg for 1 day

6 women will require= 6×0.125kg = 0.75kg (for 1 day)

so, for 3 days 6 women will require= 0.75×3 =2.25kg
