Question

A farmer produced a number of apples in Month 1. In Month 2, she produced 4 times the number of
apples that were produced in month 1. If in two months, she produces 300 apples together, how many
apples did she produce in Month 2?
a 5
b 240
c 60
d 300​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the number of apples she produced in month 1 is x,

so he produced 4x apples in month 2

so,

x+4x=300

5x=300

x=300/5=60

number of apples she produced in month 2 is 4×60=240

Answer 2

Answer:

b 240

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the production of month 1 is = x

hence,

production of month 2= 4x

total production

x+4x=300

5x=300

x=300/5

x=60

production in second month is 4 * 60=240 apples
