Chestnuts

Three divisions of nature protectors participated in the collection of chestnut trees. 1. The division harvested 1250 kg, the second division by a fifth more than the first division and the third division by a sixth more than the second division. Thus, they collected a total of 1250 tons of chestnuts.

Final Answer:

x =  4.5 t

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=1250\text{kg} \\ b=a+a/5=1250+1250/5=1500\text{kg} \\ c=b+b/6=1500+1500/6=1750\text{kg} \\ d=a+b+c=1250+1500+1750=4500\text{kg} \\ x=d\to \text{t}=d:1000\text{t}=4500:1000\text{t}=4.5\text{t}=\frac{9}{2}\text{t}=4.5\text{t} \end{gathered}$$
