Answer 1

Answer:

16kg rice and 64kg wheat

Step-by-step explanation:

let the consumption of rice be x

and consumption of wheat be 4x

x+4x=80

5x=80

x=5/80

x=16

4x=4×16

=64

hence consumption of rice is 16 kg and consumption of wheat is 64kg

Answer 2

Answer:

ʟᴇᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ʀɪᴄᴇ ʙᴇ 'x' ᴋɢ .

∴ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴡʜᴇᴀᴛ = 4x ᴋɢ

ɴᴏᴡ , ᴀᴄᴄᴏʀᴅɪɴɢ ᴛᴏ Qᴜᴇꜱᴛɪᴏɴ

x + 4x = 80

⇒ 5x = 80

ᴅɪᴠɪᴅɪɴɢ ʙᴏᴛʜ ꜱɪᴅᴇꜱ ʙʏ 5 , ᴡᴇ ɢᴇᴛ

⇒5x/5 = 80/5

⇒x = 16

ʜᴇɴᴄᴇ , ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ʀɪᴄᴇ = x = 16ᴋɢ

∴ ᴄᴏɴꜱᴜᴍᴘᴛɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴡʜᴇᴀᴛ = 4 × 16 = 64 ᴋɢ .
