Question

A family of 4 members consumes 6 kg of sugar in a month What will be the monthly consumption of sugar if the number of family members becomes 6

Accepted Answer

It is given that

Amount of sugar used by a 4 members family = 6 kg

We know that

Amount of sugar used by 1 member = 6/4 kg

So the sugar consumed by 6 members of a family = 6/4 (6) = 9kg

Hence, 9 kg is the monthly consumption of sugar, if the number of family members becomes 6.
