Question

a farmer grow wheat and rice in the ratio 12:15 if he grew 360 kg of wheat find the weight of rice grown by him​

Answer 1

Answer:

The weight of rice grown by a farmer is $450$ kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Ratio of wheat and rice = $12:15$

          Production of wheat = $360$ kg

To find : The weight of rice grown by a farmer.

Solution :

• It is given that the ratio of wheat and rice = $12:15$

          Production of wheat = $360$ kg

• We have to find the weight of rice grown by a farmer.
• Let, $x$ be the weight of rice.
• To find the weight of rice grown by a farmer, the required ratio becomes,

          $\frac{12}{15} =\frac{360}{x}$

• By cross multiplication, we get

       ∴ $12x=15*360$

       ∴ $12x=5400$

• Transpose $12$ to other side, we get

           ∴ $x=\frac{5400}{12}$

           ∴ $x=450$

• ∴ The weight of rice grown by a farmer is $450$ kg.
