Question

1. Anjali bought 2 1/5 kg of vegetables and Kavita bought 3 1/4 kg of vegetables. How much vegetables did they buy together?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If 2 1/5kh and 3 1/4 kg are the vegetables that Anjali and Kavitha bought respectively then they bought 5 9/20 kg of vegetables together.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of vegetables Anjali bought $= 2\frac{1}{5} \\\\= \frac{(2*5)+1}{5} \\\\=\frac{11}{5} kg$

Weight of vegetables Kavitha bought $=3\frac{1}{4} \\\\=\frac{(3*4)+1}{4} \\\\=\frac{13}{4} kg$

Total weight of vegetables they bought together=

$\frac{11}{5} +\frac{13}{4} \\\\=\frac{(11*4)+(13*5)}{5*4} \\\\=\frac{44+65}{20} \\\\=\frac{109}{20} \\\\=5\frac{9}{20} kg$

Therefore, total vegetables they bought $=5\frac{9}{20} kg$

Answer 2

Given:

Vegetables bought by Anjali = 2$\frac{1}{5}$ Kg

Vegetables bought by Kavita = 3$\frac{1}{4}$ Kg

To find:

Total weight of vegetables bought by Anjali and Kavita = ?

Solution:

• To calculate the total weight of vegetables bought by Anjali and Kavita follow the steps given below:

• Step 1: Convert the given fraction into the simpler form

     ∴ Vegetables bought by Anjali = 2$\frac{1}{5}$ Kg = $\frac{11}{5}$ Kg

        Vegetable bought by Kavita = 3$\frac{1}{4}$ Kg = $\frac{13}{4}$ Kg

• Step 2: Add the two fractions by taking the LCM of denominator

       = $\frac{11}{5}$ Kg +  $\frac{13}{4}$ Kg

       The LCM of denominators is 20.

       = $\frac{11 * 4}{5 * 4}$ Kg + $\frac{13 * 5}{4* 5}$ Kg

       = $\frac{44}{20}$ Kg + $\frac{65}{20}$ Kg

       = $\frac{44 + 65}{20}$ Kg

       = $\frac{109}{20}$ Kg

       = 5$\frac{9}{20}$ Kg

• Hence, Anjali and Kavita bought 5$\frac{9}{20}$ Kg vegetables together.
