Question

in a family , the consumption of wheat to that of the rice is in the ratio of 3:1 . If the total consumption of cereal is 28 kg , find the consumption of wheat and rice .​

Answer 1

WEIGHT OF TOTAL CEREAL(RICE+WHEAT)=28 kg

RATIO OF WEIGHTS OF WHEAT AND RICE=3:1

SO LET US SUPPOSE THE WEIGHT OF WHEAT IS 3x,AND WEIGHT OF RICE IS 1x.

SO 3x+1x=28

=>4x=28

=>x=7

WEIGHT OF RICE = 1x = 7kg

WEIGHT OF RICE = 3x = 3×7=21kg

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

consumption of wheat is 21 kg

consumption of rice is 7 kg
