Question

Geeta bought 1 and a half kg of potatoes, 3 1/4 kg of tomatoes, 2 3/8 kg of onions. What was the total quantity of vegetables bought?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$total \: quantity = 1 \frac{1}{2} + 3 \frac{1}{4} + 2 \frac{3}{8} \\ = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{13}{4} + \frac{19}{8} \\ = \frac{12 + 26 + 19}{8} (as \: lcm \: 8) \\ = \frac{57}{8} \\ = 7 \frac{1}{8} \: kg$
