Question

the monthly consumption of wheat in a 7 member family is 42kg.the granary has a stock of 504kg.after 5 month one members of the family goes abroad. estimate the number of months the stock will last considering that each member consume the same quantity of wheat. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

consumption of one person=42÷7=6

consumption in 5 months=42×5=210

1 person goes abroad

wheat left=504 -210=294

monthy consumption of 6 members=36

294÷36=9... estimated

months the wheat will stock is=5+9=14

Answer 2

Answer:

consumption for 5 month= 42* 5 = 210 kg

Remaining stock after 5 month =504 - 210 =294kg

Avg consumption per month = 42/7 = 6kg/head

So for 6 people, monthly consumption = 6 *6 =36 kg

So the time with remaining stock last = 294/36 =8.16 month

So total time =5 + 8.16 = 13.16 months
