Question

1.

Last year, the ratio of literate and illiterate people of Rashkundu Village was
4:1. If the population of the village is 6550, let's find the numbers of literate
and illiterate people.​

Answer 1

5,240 literate

1310 illiterate

Explanation:

-ratio of literate : illiterate is 1:4

-add the numbers in the ratio (4+1=5)

-divide total population by 5 (6,550/5= 1,310)

-multiply the outcome by 4 to find the number of literate people (1,310*4=5,240 people)

-subtract the number of literate people from total population to find number of illiterate people (6,550-5,240= 1,310 people).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the literate and illiterate people of Rashkundu Village be 4x and x respectively then

4x + x = 6550

5x = 6550

x = 6550 / 5

x = 1310

Therefore

no. of literate people = 4 * 1310 = 5240

no. of illiterate people = 1310

Hope it will help :)
