Answer 1

Answer:

11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the total number of children .

Let x be the number of sweets received by each child.

n×x =605-----------(1)

Also, x = n/5-------(2)

On solving above, we get x = 11.

Answer 2

Answer:

Each child receive 11 sweets

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'n' be the number of students.

To find total number of students

It is given that there are 605 sweets.And sweet received by each child is 20%of the total number of children.

Therefore we can write,

$\frac{605}{n}=\frac{20*n}{100}$

$\frac{605}{n}=\frac{n}{5}$

$n^{2}=3025$

n = 55

Therefore total number of students = 55

To find the number of sweets received by each student

number of sweets = 605/55 = 11
