Answer 2

GivEn:

• A canteen requires 28 dozen bananas for a week.

To find:

• How many bananas will it require for 47 days?

Solution:

• Firstly, Let's find how many bananas are required per day.

• Let no. of bananas required in a day be x.

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

« Now, Let's find x,

→ 1 week = 28 dozen

→ Each day = 28/7

→ x = 4

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

« Now, Let's find in no. of bananas in 47 days,

As we know that,

• No of bananas = 47(x)

→ 47(4)

→ 188

• Dozen = 12

→ 188 × 12

→ 2256 bananas.

∴ Hence, 2256 bananas are required in 47 days. ( Option C )

⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀

(Or) Other method to solve it ↓

Let no. of bananas be x again.

« Now, By using proportion method,

• 1 week = 7 days.

→ 7 : 28 : : 47 : x

• Product of means = Product of extremes.

→ 7x = 1316

→ x = 1316/7

→ x = 188

• Dozen = 12

→ 188 × 12

→ 2256 bananas.

∴ Hence, 2256 bananas. This method can also be used. ( Option C )
