abigail sells rice in stores. she has a total of 125 cavans that she plans to distribute to 3 stores. if she gives 1/5 of what she has to store a, can she divide the remaining equally to b and c? how many will store a and b get(with solution and answer)
Bal. = 125 - 125/5 =
Bal./2 =
To find out if Abigail can divide the remaining rice equally between stores B and C after giving 1/5 of it to store A, we first need to determine the amount of rice she has.
Abigail has 125 cavans of rice in total.
To find 1/5 of the total rice, we need to multiply the total amount (125) by 1/5.
(125) x (1/5) = 125/5 = 25 cavans
So, Abigail gives 25 cavans of rice to store A.
To calculate the remaining rice, we subtract the amount given to store A from the total amount.
Remaining rice = Total rice - Rice given to store A
Remaining rice = 125 - 25 = 100 cavans
Now, we need to check if Abigail can divide the remaining 100 cavans equally between stores B and C.
To do this, we divide the remaining rice by the number of stores, which in this case is 2 (store B and store C).
Each store will receive (Remaining rice) / (Number of stores) = 100/2 = 50 cavans.
Therefore, both store A and store B will receive 50 cavans of rice each.
