Question

Question 04.
If a box of sweets is divided among 24 children, they will get 5 sweets each. How many would each get, if the number of the children is reduced by 4?

Answer 1

$\because$ Each child gets = 5 sweets
$\therefore$ 24 children will get $24\times 5=120$ sweets
Total number of sweets = 120
If the number of children is reduced by 4, then children left = 24 – 4 = 20
Now each child will get sweets =$\frac{120}{20}=6$ sweets
