To find the daily consumption of wheat for 170 students based on the given data, we can follow these steps:
1. Determine the daily wheat consumption per student:
- We are given that 240 students consume 12 kg of wheat daily.
- To find out how much wheat each student consumes per day, divide the total daily wheat consumption (12 kg) by the number of students (240).
[tex]\[
\text{Daily wheat consumption per student} = \frac{12 \text{ kg}}{240 \text{ students}} = 0.05 \text{ kg/student}
\][/tex]
2. Calculate the daily wheat consumption for 170 students:
- Now that we know each student consumes 0.05 kg of wheat daily, we can calculate the total wheat consumption for 170 students by multiplying the daily consumption per student by the number of students (170).
[tex]\[
\text{Daily wheat consumption for 170 students} = 0.05 \text{ kg/student} \times 170 \text{ students} = 8.5 \text{ kg}
\][/tex]
Thus, the daily wheat consumption for 170 students is 8.5 kg.
