Question

A sum of Rs. x is divided equally among 4 children. if each child receives Rs. y, express y in terms of x .

Answer 1

$\mathbf{Total \: sum \: of \: money = Rs \: x} \\ \\ \\ \mathbf{When \: \: divide \: equally \: amongst \: 4 \: children, \: each \: will \: get \: one - fourth \: of \: the \: total \: sum \: } \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ Hence, Each \:\:will \:\:get = \frac{1}{4} \times x$

But given in question that each will get Rs y

Hence,

$\frac{x}{4} = y$

Y is expressed in terms of x

Answer 2

Total sum of money = x.

Number of children = 4.

Amount each children gets = (x/4).

Given that each child receives rs.y.

= > (x/4) = y
