Question 1.

How Much Rice Would Feed a Family of Four for a Month? Class 9

Answer:

Assumptions: All calorie needs come from rice alone (for simplification)

An average adult needs about 2000 - 2500 kcal per day 100 g of uncooked rice provides approximately 350-360 kcal when cooked Calculation: Daily rice needed per person: 2000 ÷ 350 ≈ about 570 g, roughly 0.6 kg per person per day

For 4 people: 0.6 × 4 = 2.4 kg per day

For 30 days: 2.4 × 30 = 72 kg per month

Sense check: 100 g per month? Clearly too little. A few tonnes? Way too much. About 70-75 kg? This seems reasonable for a family of four. This is approximate reasoning we are not trying to be exact, just making sure the answer is in the right range.
