Question

Solve the following.

At a sugar factory, 5376 kg of sugar can be obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane. If Savitatai has grown 50 tonnes of sugarcane, how much sugar will it yield?

Answer 1

Amount of sugar obtained from 48 tonnes of sugarcane = 5376 kg

∴ Amount of sugar obtained from 1 ton of sugarcane = `5376/48 = 112` kg

⇒ Amount of sugar obtained from 50 tonnes of sugarcane = 112 × 50 = 5600 kg

Thus, the amount of sugar yielded from 50 tonnes of sugarcane is 5600 kg.
