Question

In a family the father 1/4 of the cake as the others had If other had 3 times the father had . Find members of family​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4x = 1/12, 36 = 4x, X = 9, 9 + 1(father) = 10 total family member.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose amount of cake=100

Father took = 1/4 * 100 = 25

Remaining = 100 -25 = 75

Let the number of people = x

Distribution to the family members = 75(remaining amount of cake) / x (number of family members)

Its given father had 3 times as much as each of the other members had,

Therefore, 25(Father’s amount of cake) = 3 times as much as each of the other members (75/x)

then, 25= 3 * (75/x)

x=9

Total= 9 +1(Father)=10 family members
