Answer 1

⭐$\huge\mathbb\blue{\underline{\underline{SOLUTION:}}}$⭐

According to the problem ,

The weight of the empty drum = 55 / 4 kg

A drum full of rice weight = 241 /6 kg

Weigt of the empty drum + weight of the rice = 241 / 6 kg

55 / 4 kg + weight of the rice = 241 / 6 kg

Weight of the rice = 241 / 6 - 55 / 4

Find the LCM of 6 and 4 = 12

= (482 - 165 ) / 12

= 317 / 12 kg

Therefore ,

Weight of the rice = 317 / 12 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

40 1/6 = 241/6

13 3/4 = 55/4

So weight of rice= 241/6-55/4 = 26.416 approx
