Answer 2

Answer:

∴ Aarti ate total $6$ chapatis.    

Step-by-step explanation:

• In context with question asked,
• We have to find the total number of chapatis Aarti ate.
• It is given that, chapatis ate by Aarti for lunch = $2\frac{1}{2}$

          Chapatis ate by Aarti for dinner = $3\frac{1}{2}$

• To find the total number of chapatis ate by Aarti, we have to add the chapatis ate by Aarti in lunch and dinner.
• Addition is one of the important arithmetic operation of mathematics among division, multiplication, addition and subtraction.
• So,

     The total number of chapatis Aarti ate = $2\frac{1}{2} +3\frac{1}{2}$

                                                    = $\frac{2\times 2+1}{2} +\frac{3\times 2+1}{2}$

                                                    = $\frac{5}{2} +\frac{7}{2}$

                                                    = $\frac{12}{2}$

                                                    = $6$

• ∴ Aarti ate total $6$ chapatis.
