Question

The pickles need bamboo shoot tomato chill in the ratio of 4:2:1. if you have 24kg of bamboo shoot, 20 kg of tomato and 8 kg of chilli, total of how many kilograms of pickles can you prepare

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the amount taken of bamboo shoot = 4x

and tomato=2x

and chilli=x

Total amount of pickel=

$4x + 2x + x = 7x$

So,

Given amount of

bamboo shoot= 24kg

tomato=20kg

chilli=8kg

Amount of bamboo shoot = 4x = 24kg

$= > x = 6$

So,

Amount of tomato taken =

$2x = 2 \times 6 = 12kg$

and rest of tomato is left over.

Amount of chilli taken =

$x = 6kg$

and rest of the chilli are left over.

So, total amount of pickel formed

$= 4x + 2x + x$

$= > 7x = 7 \times 6kg$

Total amount of pickel

$= 42kg$
