In a hostel mess, 50kg rice are consumed every day. If each student gets 400gm of rice per day, find the number of students who take meals in the hostel mess. |
|
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 = 50000gm [since 1 kg = 1000gm]. According to the question, ⇒ 400x = 50000 Dividing both sides by 400, we get ⇒ 400 x/400 = 50000/400 ⇒ x = 125 Thus, 125 students have their meals in the hostel mess. |
