( math fraction) ​

Answer 1

$i) Quantity \: of \: plums \: ate \: by \: Isha \\= 18 \frac{3}{7} \\= \frac{ 18\times 7 + 3 }{7} \\= \frac{126+3}{7} \\= \frac{129}{7}\: --(1)$

$ii) Quantity \: of \: plums \: ate \: by \: Rohit \\= 33\frac{1}{4} \\= \frac{ 33\times 4 + 1 }{4} \\= \frac{132+1}{4} \\= \frac{133}{4}\: --(2)$

$Quantity \: of \: plums \: eat \: together \\= (1) + (2) \\= \frac{129}{7} + \frac{133}{4}\\= \frac{129\times 4 + 133 \times 7 }{28} \\= \frac{516 + 931}{28}\\= \frac{1447}{28} \\= 51\frac{19}{28}$

Therefore.,

$\red{Quantity \: of \: plums \: eat \: together}\\\green { = 51\frac{19}{28} }$
