A farmer harvested 144 bags of maize in one season. In the second season the yield increased in the ratio 4:3. The farmer supplied all the bags of maize harvested in the second season equally to three millers. How many bags of maize did each miller get?

2 answers

Take the bags of maize grown in the second season as x.

The ratio of the bags of maize in the second and first seasons is the same as the given ratio.

=> x/144 = 4/3
=> x = (144/3)*4
=> x = 48*4
=> x = 192

Now, if 192 bags were divided equally among three millers, how many will each get?
64 bags each
