Question

country A produces five times the amount of diamonds in carats produced in country B. if the total produced in both countries is 30,000,000 carats, find the amount produced in each country.

Answer 1

Country A = 24,000,000

Country B = 60000000

Explanation:

Step 1 : Divide the total by 5.

30000000 divide by 5 is 60000000

Step 2 : 30000000 - 60000000 = 24000000

Step 3 : Thus, 60000000 is for Country B and 24000000 for Country A
