Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 16 kg 800 g + 10 kg 950 g

=27kg 750 g

2) cost of chair = 1870rs

3) advertisements were for 11 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

11 minutes = 60 × 11

= 660 seconds

4) 17 years 3months

5)   Meera started knitting a muffler on independence day.

Days to complete the work = 25days

 Solution:

Independence day (15th August)

August has 31 days.

Count days from 15th August. (Consider 15th August as first day)

Day = 25 - (31 - 15 + 1) = 25 - 17 = 8

So, she will finish knitting a muffler on 8th September.
