Mrs. Vaswani bought minced chicken. She packed the chicken equally into packets of 1/5 kg
each. If she packs it equally into packets of 1/8 kg each,
she will get 12 ore packets of minced chicken.How many kilograms of minced chicken did she
buy? The mass of the chicken is a whole number.
Solution
Let the mass of the minced chicken Vaswani purchased be m kilograms.
Then the possible number of packets of (1/5)kg that could be made out of m kg chicken =
m/(1/5)=5m packets.
The possible number of packets of (1/8) kg that could be made from m kg chicken = m/(1/8)kg =
8kg.
Given that the number of packets of 1/8 kg that could be made is 12 more than the number of
packets that could be made if each packet is packed with 1/5kg.
Therefore, the required equation is : 8m-5m =12 or
3m=12
m=4.
Therefore the mass of minced chicken purchsed by Vaswani is 4kg.
