Question

Некий купец купил нечистой пеньки (грубое волокно из которой делают веревку) 305 пудов^3 и, вычистив, получил 298 пудов, и желает знать какую часть он потерял от вычистки. С пояснениями пожалуйста.

Answer 1

305пудов^3  --- 1

305-298пудов^3 -----Х

Х= (305-298)/305

Х= 7/305 пудов^3

Ответ   7/305 пудов^3

Answer 2

Calculating the Loss from Cleaning Unclean Flax

A merchant purchased 305 puds of unclean flax and, after cleaning it, ended up with 298 puds. The question is, what fraction of the flax did the merchant lose during the cleaning process?

To calculate the loss, we can use the following formula: Loss = Initial quantity - Final quantity

Substituting the given values: Loss = 305 puds - 298 puds = 7 puds

Now, to find the fraction of the loss relative to the initial quantity: Fraction of loss = Loss / Initial quantity

Substituting the values: Fraction of loss = 7 puds / 305 puds

Calculating the fraction: Fraction of loss ≈ 0.023

So, the merchant lost approximately 2.3% of the unclean flax during the cleaning process.

This calculation is based on the provided information and the formula for finding the fraction of loss.
