People from villages move to cities to seek employment opportunities. How many years will it take for 1216 people from a village to move to a city at a rate of 152 per year? Find the number of people who move to cities in 3 years.
Given :
The number of people $=1216$.
Rate of people moving from villages to cities $=$ 152 per year.
To do :
We have to find the years taken to move 1216 people from the village and the number of people moved in 3 years.
Solution :
This implies,
The number of people moving to cities in 3 years $= Rate \times Time = 152 \times 3 = 456$
The time is taken for 152 people to move from villages to cities $=$ 1 year
The time taken for 1216 people to move from villages to cities $= \frac{Number of people}{Rate} = \frac{1216}{152} = 8 years$.
Therefore, Time taken for 1216 people to move from village to city is 8 years. And 456 moved in 3 years.
