Question

A basket contains three types of fruits weighing ¹⁹1/3kg in all . if ⁸1/9kg of these be apples, ³1/6kg be oranges and the rest pears , what is the weight of the pears in the basket?​

Answer 1

Answer:

⁸1/18 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we know that total weight is  ¹⁹1/3kg which is equal to 58/3 kg

Weight of apples in it = ⁸1/9kg = 73/9 kg

Weight of oranges in it =  ³1/6 = 19/6 kg.

Weight of pears in it     = say x

So, we know that 73/9 + 19/6 + x = 58/3.

taking LCM of 73/9 and 19/6 which is 18, we get

146 + 57  = 203 / 18

   18

So, 203 / 18  + x = 58/3

x = 58/3 - 203/18

x = 348 / 18 - 203 / 18

x = 145 / 18 = ⁸1/18 kg
