A pile of coal burns one ninth of a ton in the first day A pile of coal burns one ninth of a ton in the first day, and the remaining five ninths in the second day. Two tons are burned in two days. How many tons are there in this pile of coal?

A pile of coal burns one ninth of a ton in the first day A pile of coal burns one ninth of a ton in the first day, and the remaining five ninths in the second day. Two tons are burned in two days. How many tons are there in this pile of coal?


Suppose there are x tons in total, then
1/9X+8/9X*5/9=2
X=162/49
There are 163 / 49 tons



A pile of Coal Transported 600 tons in the first day, accounting for just one sixth of the coal pile. The ratio of the coal transported in the second day to this pile is one to five. How many tons were transported in the second day


This pile of coal: 600 △ 1 / 6 = 3600 (tons)
On the next day, the number of people who transported this pile of coal: 1 ÷ (1 + 5) = 1 / 6
The next day: 3600 × 1 / 6 = 600 (tons)
Method 2
On the next day, the number of people who transported this pile of coal: 1 ÷ (1 + 5) = 1 / 6
Because 1 / 6 of the coal was transported the next day and the first day, 600 tons were also transported the next day



The first day the coal yard transported 600 tons of coal, accounting for 16% of the total reserves. The ratio of the next day to the total reserves is 1:5. How many tons are transported the next day?


A: 720 tons the next day
