Answer» The total weight of fruits bought by Aneeta = [3(3/4)] + [4(1/2)] We have, First convert each mixed fraction into improper fraction = [3(3/4)] = (15/4) = [4(1/2)] = (9/2) Then, = (15/4) + (9/2) LCM of 4, 2 = 4 Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 4 as the denominator = (15/4) × (1/1) = (15/4) = (9/2) × (2/2) = (18/4) = (15/4) + (18/4) = (15 + 18)/ 4) = (33/4) = [8(1/4)] The total weight of fruits purchased by Aneeta is [8(1/4)] kg

Aneeta bought [3(3/4)] kg apples and [4(1/2)] kg guava. What is the total weight of fruits purchased by her?

Answer»

The total weight of fruits bought by Aneeta = [3(3/4)] + [4(1/2)]

We have,

First convert each mixed fraction into improper fraction

= [3(3/4)] = (15/4)

= [4(1/2)] = (9/2)

Then,

= (15/4) + (9/2)

LCM of 4, 2 = 4

Now, let us change each of the given fraction into an equivalent fraction having 4 as the denominator

= (15/4) × (1/1) = (15/4)

= (9/2) × (2/2) = (18/4)

= (15/4) + (18/4)

= (15 + 18)/ 4)

= (33/4)

= [8(1/4)]

The total weight of fruits purchased by Aneeta is [8(1/4)] kg
