Newspapers

25

Of course the real puzzle here is figuring out the question. ; )

Which should read something like the following. Question: If in a college of 300 students, every student reads 5 newspapers and every newspaper is read by 60 students, what is the total number of newspapers.

Answer: 300 students x 5 newspapers=1500 newspapers 1500 newspapers ÷ 60 students = 25 newspaper publishers

Let no. of newspapers=N

No. of readings = 60N=300*5

N=25

Firstly, we will find that how many students read one news paper so, 300÷60=5 We know that every student read 5 news papers 5×5=25 Answer is 25

Let n be the number of newspapers.

300 x 5=60 x n

1500=60n

n=1500/60 =25

Vividly, 300 times of 5 reads divided to 60 reads is 25. Actually, there must be 5 sets of different newspapers:

A B C D E

A B C D E

A B C D E

A B C D E

A B C D E

300 students divided into 5 groups with 60, 60, 60, 60 and 60. Each 60 take one A, one B, one C, one D and one E. Therefore, there are 5 x 5 of newspapers required which is 25 as total. Difficulty arise from coincidence of numbers made for conceptual confusion, I think.

This is too simple. If a newspaper lasts for 60 reads we can just split the students in cohorts of 60 (300 / 60 = 5) and give each of 5 cohorts all 5 newspapers. 5 * 5 =25.

BTW the image says in Russian 'Read papers in Karelian' (a minority Finnish language spoken near St.Petersburg).

Each newspaper is read by 60 students.

Thus 300/60 = 5 one type of newspaper will be required

But every student read 5 different newspaper.

Thus number of newspaper required = 5*5=25

We can split the students into sets of 60, and the newspapers into sets of 5, each of 60 students can read all 5 papers, and then the set complies with the bounds given. Now we need simply scale up by multiplying the ratio of 60:5, and we get 25 papers for 300 students.

simple... one read 5 newspaper and 300 read 300*5=1500 agail 60 read same newspaper so 1500/60=25...

as every newspaper is read by 60 students,there should be 5 newspaper is needed for 300 students(300/60)...and as every students read 5 newspaper so exactly 25 is needed.(5.5)=25

Since every newspaper is read by 60 students, we distribute 1 newspaper to first 60 students, then 2nd newspaper to 60 students, so in dis way we require 5 set of newspapers. 2nd set of 5 newspapers is taken n distributed to 1st 60 students. in this way all 2nd set of 5 newspapers is distributed to 300 students. in this way, each student has read newspaper 2 times. So taking 3 more set of 5 newspapers, each student will read 5 newspapers. Hence 25 newspapers are required.

300/60=5x5=25

Answer: 300 students x 5 newspapers=1500 newspapers read 1500 newspapers ÷ 60 students = 25 newspaper

total newspaper read by 300 student=1500 1newspaper read by 60 student then newspaper read by 1 student=1/60 then,newspaper read by 1500 student=1500/6=25

ans. 25 solution : 300 X 5 / 60 = 25

Let x be the number of Newspaper.

60/300=5/x 60x=1500 x=1500/60 x=25 Therefore, the total number of newspaper is exactly 25.

300/60= #.newspapers read by all students *5(for each student) = 25 (total)

Reword the question: How many newspapers can 300 students read, if each can read 5 and each newspaper is read by 60 students? 300*5 = potentially 1500 newspapers. But that would be spread too thin for each to be read by 60 students. 1500/60 = 25 newspapers that can be read by 60 students each.

since 60students rteach one news pap-er and each student reads 5 news papers thus 300 students are covered by 5 X5 =25 news papers .Ans K.K.GARG,India

300 Hundred Stu. x every stud. Read Newsp is 05=1500= every news paper read by 60 student 1500 ÷60=25 =its easy

As there are 300 students in the college, whereby 60 students each read one of N newspapers, we get 300/60=N/5 (total students per students reading 1 paper is equal to total papers per number of papers read by 1 student)

300/60=N/5

N=(300/60)×5

N=5×5

N=25

300(5) = 1500, 1500/60 = 25

300×5=?×60 So,?=25

(300*5) / (300/5)
