Question

if a train can hold 1540 passenger how many trains are required to carry 40040 passenger?

Answer 1

Trains required to carry 40040 passenger... =40040/1540
=4004/154
=26.....

Answer 2

If 1 train holds 1540 passengers, then let number of trains required to carry 40040 passengers be x. Then,
$\frac{1}{1540} = \frac{x}{40040}$
Cross multiplication of this eqn.
=> 1 × 40040 = 15 × x
=> x = 40040/1540 = 26
