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.

As per the given information in the question, total consumption of the cereals = 80kg


Let x be the consumption of rice.


Then, consumption of wheat = 4x


According to the question,


x + 4x = 80


⇒ 5x = 80


⇒


∴ Consumption of wheat = 4x = 4 × 16 = 64 kg.


Hence, the consumption rice and wheat are 16kg and 64 kg, respectively.
