Question

Fiona bought 2 pumpkins that weighed 1 1/5 kg each.She used 1 1/2 kg to make a soup and 2/9 kg of the remainder to make a pie.How much pumpkin did Fiona use to make the pie?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.72

Step-by-step explanation:

1 pumpkin weighs = 6/5 kg

2 pumpkin = 12/5 kg

12/5 - 3/2 (amount for soup) =9/10

9/10 - 2/9 ( for pie) = 61/90 kg

*this is how much is left

Starting weight - final weight = solution

= 12/5 - 61/90 = 31/18 or 1.72 kg
