so 50,000/400=125..
therefore 125 students is the ans..

Answer 2

${\large{\underbrace{\sf{\purple{Required \ Answer}}}}}$

☯️ Let the number of students in the hostel be x.

• Quantity of rice consumed by each student = 400 gm.
• So, daily rice consumption in the hostel mess = 400 (x).
• But, daily rice consumption = 50 kg = 50 × 1000 = 50000 gm [since 1 kg = 1000 gm].

$\bigstar$ ${\large{\underline{\boxed{\frak{\purple{According \ to \ the \ question,}}}}}}$

$\longrightarrow$ 400x = 50000

Dividing both sides by 400, we get,

$\longrightarrow$ 400 x/400 = 50000/400

$\longrightarrow$ x = 125

$\therefore$ 125 students have their meals in the hostel mess.
