Question

1. A drum full of rice weighs 241/6 kgs . If the empty drum weighs 55/4 , find the weight of rice in the drum

Answer 1

Hi ,


According to the problem ,

The weight of the empty drum = 55 / 4 kg

A drum full of rice weight = 241 /6 kg

Weigt of the empty drum + weight of the rice = 241 / 6 kg

55 / 4 kg + weight of the rice = 241 / 6 kg

Weight of the rice = 241 / 6 - 55 / 4

Find the LCM of 6 and 4 = 12

= (482 - 165 ) / 12

= 317 / 12 kg

Therefore ,

Weight of the rice = 317 / 12 kg

I hope this will useful to you.
