Question

3) Bran and his son went for fishing. Bran caught 3 ¾ kg of fish and
his son caught 2 ½ kg of fish. What is the total weight of the fishes
that they caught?
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

bran caught fish = 15/4kg

his son caught fish = 5/2kg

total

15/4+5/2

LCM =4

(15+10)/4

25/4 ans

Answer 2

To calculate total weight of the fishes we will add the weight of the fishes caught by Bran and his son

so,

Total weight of fishes = 3 ¾ + 2 ½

•Convert them to improper fractions

=> (3×4+3)/4 + (2×2+1)/2

=> 15/4 + 5/2

•Take LCM of denominators:-

i.e 4

=> 15/4 + 10/4

Take the denominator as common and add both the numerators

=> 25/4 (This is a improper form)

•Converting into the proper form

=> 6 ¼
