Complete Question:

Sudha purchased 3 kg of potatoes from the market. She used 1/3rd of it in cooking baked potatoes and 1/2 of the remaining in mixed vegetables. What quantity of potatoes is she left with?

a. 1.5 kg

b. 2 kg

c. 1 kg

d. 2.5 kg

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's solve the given problem:

The total quantity of potatoes purchased by Sudha = 3 kg

1/3rd of the total quantity was used in cooking baked potatoes

So, the quantity of potatoes used in cooking baked potatoes is,

= $\frac{1}{3} \times 3\:kg$

= $1 \:kg$

Remaining quantity of potatoes with Sudha = $3\:kg - 1\:kg = 2 \:kg$

From the remaining 2 kg of potatoes, she used 1/2 of them in cooking mixed vegetables

So, the quantity of potatoes used in cooking mixed vegetables is,

= $\frac{1}{2} \times 2\:kg$

= $1\:kg$

Therefore,

The final quantity of potatoes left with Sudha is,

= $2\:kg - 1\:kg$

= $\bold{1\:kg}$ ← option (c)

Thus, she is left with 1 kg of potatoes with her.

Answer 2

Answer:

c. 1 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

       1/3 of 3 is 1

        1/3*3 = 1

out of 3 kg she used 1/3 in cooking baked potatoes which means

            3-1 = 2 ----[1]

and remaining half in mixed vegetables which means

        1/2*2 = 1 -----[2]

       quantity of potatoes left

              [1] - [2]

            2-1 = 1

Therefore, the answer is 1 kg
