For a pile of coal, one fifth of the total amount is used, another one fifth of a ton is used, and one fifth of a ton is left. How many tons of coal are there?


Set the original x tons
x-(5/1)x-5/1=5/1
5/4x-5/1=5/1
x=?
A: there are tons of coal in this pile



A pile of coal has four fifths of a ton. One tenth of the total coal is used in the first time, and one tenth of a ton is used in the second time. How many tons are used in the two times?


Used for the first time: 4 / 5 x 1 / 10 = 2 / 25 (ton)
Used for the second time: 2 / 25, 1 / 10 = 1 / 125 (ton)
Total consumption: 1 / 125 + 2 / 25 = 11 / 125 (tons)
A: 11 out of 125 tons
It should be like this-
