Answer 1

Answer:

May you please mark me as the brainliest only one.

Step-by-step explanation:

full drum weighs 241/6 kilograms.

empty drum weighs 55/4 kilograms.

rice will weight 241/6 - 55/4 kilograms.

place both fractions under a common denominator to get:

(4 * 241) / 24 - (6 * 55) / 24

combine like fractions to get:

((4 * 241) - (6 * 55)) / 24

simplify to get:

(964 - 330) /24

 

combine like terms to get:

634 / 24

simplify to get:

317 / 12

that's your answer.

in mixed fraction format, it will be equal to 26 5/12.
