Question

Grace keeps a store where she has 8 1/2 kg of oranges and 6 1/2 kg of apples if 5 1/2 kg of the fruits are sold how many kilograms of fruits are left?

Answer 1

Answer:

weight of oranges = 8 1/2 = 17/2 kg.

weight of apples = 6 1/2 = 13/2 kg

Total weight of the fruits = 17/2 +13/2 = 30/2 kg.

Weight of fruits sold = 5 1/2 kg = 11/2 kg

weight of fruits left = 30/2 - 11/2 = 30-11/2 =19/2 = 9 1/2 kg.

Answer: 9 1/2 kg of fruits is left.
