Question 81

In a family, the consumption of wheat is 4 times that of rice. The total consumption of the two cereals is 80 kg. Find the quantities of rice and wheat consumed in the family.

Answer 1

As per the given information in the question, total consumption of the two cereals = 80 kg
Let x be the consumption of rice.
Then, consumption of wheat = 4x
According to the question,
x + 4x = 80
$\Rightarrow 5x=80\Rightarrow x=\frac{80}{5}=16$ kg
$\therefore$ Consumption of wheat =$4x=4\times 16=64$ kg
Hence, the consumption of rice and wheat are 16 kg and 64 kg, respectively.
