Solution
As per the given information in the question, the 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
⇒ 5x = 80
⇒ x = `80/5` = 16 kg
∴ Consumption of wheat = 4x = 4 × 16 = 64 kg
Hence, the consumption of rice and wheat is 16 kg and 64 kg, respectively.
