Question

В одном мешке в 1.4 раза меньше муки, чем во втором. После того, как из одного пересыпали в другой 4 кг, муки в мешках стало поровну. Сколько муки было в каждом из мешков?

Answer 1

Пусть во втором мешке х кг, тогда в первом 1,4х
1,4х - 4 = х+4
х в одну сторону, числа в другую
0,4 х = 8
х = 8/0,4
х = 20 (кг) - во втором мешке
20*1,4=28 кг - в первом мешке

Problem Analysis

We are given two bags, and the amount of flour in one bag is 1.4 times less than the amount in the other bag. After transferring 4 kg of flour from one bag to the other, the amount of flour in both bags becomes equal. We need to determine the initial amount of flour in each bag.

Solution

Let's assume the initial amount of flour in the first bag is x kg. According to the problem, the amount of flour in the second bag is 1.4 times less than the amount in the first bag. Therefore, the amount of flour in the second bag is x - 1.4x = -0.4x kg.

After transferring 4 kg of flour from one bag to the other, the amount of flour in both bags becomes equal. So, we can set up the following equation:

x - 4 = -0.4x + 4

Simplifying the equation, we get:

1.4x = 8

Dividing both sides of the equation by 1.4, we find:

x = 8 / 1.4 = 5.71

Therefore, the initial amount of flour in the first bag is approximately 5.71 kg, and the initial amount of flour in the second bag is approximately -0.4 * 5.71 = -2.28 kg.

However, it is not possible to have a negative amount of flour in a bag. Therefore, we can conclude that there was an error in the problem statement or the given information.

Conclusion

Based on the given information, it is not possible to determine the exact initial amount of flour in each bag.
