A family of 8 members consumes 12 kg of sugar in 9 months. What will be the monthly consumption of sugar,
if the number of family members becomes 10?
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Consumption in 9months = 12kg
Consumption in 1month = (12/9)kg = 4/3kg
Consumption of 1member/month = (4/3*1/8) kg= (1/3*1/2) kg
Consumption of 10member/month = (1/3*1/2*10) kg = 5/3kg Or 1.66kg
A family of 10 member consumes 10/3 kg of sugar in 1 month
Explanation:
Given:
1. A family of 8 members consumes 12 kg of sugar in 9 months
To find:
What will be the monthly consumption of sugar, if the number of family members becomes 10.
==> Find Sugar consumes per month
==> 12kg sugar = 9 months
==> Divide by 9 to get 1 month
==> 4/3 kg Sugar = 1 Month
==> A family of 8 members consumes 4/3 kg of sugar in 1 month
==> 8 members = 4/3
==> To find One member, Divide by 8 on both sides
==> 8/8 =( 4/3)/8
==> 1 member = (1/3)/2
==> 1 member = 2/3 kg sugar
A family of 1 member consumes 2/3 kg of sugar in 1 month
The monthly consumption of sugar is 4/3kg for 8 members
The monthly consumption of sugar is 2/3kg for 1 member
What will be the monthly consumption of sugar, if the number of family members becomes 10?
We find the monthly consumption,
A family of 1 member consumes 2/3 kg of sugar in 1 month
1 member = 2/3 kg sugar
10 member = 10/3 kg sugar
A family of 10 member consumes 10/3 kg of sugar in 1 month
