Answer:
Weight of potato =120kg
(i) potatoes sold by merchant =6kg+5 ¹/4kg+9 ¹/2 kg+9 ⁴/3 kg
It can be written as
=(6+21/4+19/2+39/4) kg
LCM of 1, 4 and 2 is 4
=(24+21+38+39)/4
By further calculation
=122/4
=61/2kg
=30 ¹/2kg
(ii) Potatoes left in the sack =120kg−30 ¹/2kg
It can be written as
=(120/1−61/2) kg
By further calculation
=(240−61)/2 kg
So we get
=179/2kg
=89 ¹/2 kg
