Answer» Given:Sita bought Anita bought
What To FIND:We have to find who bought more fruits and also by how much. Solution:
To find this we have to find, Weight of apples and mangoes together of Sita and Anita and then find how has bought more. ✱ Sita: ⇒ TOTAL Weight = SUM of apple and mangoes Substitute the values, ⇒ Total Weight = 6.200 kg + 2.500 kg Add the weight, ⇒ Total Weight = 8.700 kg or 8.7 kg ✱ Anita: ⇒ Total Weight = Sum of apple and mangoes Substitute the values, ⇒ Total Weight = 4.500 kg + 5.150 kg Add the weight, ⇒ Total Weight = 9.650 kg or 9.65 kg Here we can see that, 8.7 kg < 9.65 kg Sita < Anita ∴ Hence, Anita bought more fruits.
To find we have to Subtract Sita's fruits from Anita's fruits, ⇒ Anita's fruits - Sita's fruits Substitute the values, ⇒ 9.65 kg - 8.7 kg Subtract the weight, ⇒ 0.95 kg ∴ Therefore, Anita has bought more fruits than Sita by 0.95 kg. |
