Question

Mr De Guzman bought 7 1/2 kg of meat. he used 2 3/4 for afritada, 3 1/8 kg for menudo and the rest for pochero. how many kilograms of meat did he used for pochero?

Answer 1

Answer:

He used for pochero = 13/8 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

Mr De Guzman bought meat = (15/2) kg

He used for afritada = (11/4) kg

He used for menudo = (25/8) kg

Now he uesd rest for pochero

He collectively used on afritada and menudo = 11/4 +  25/8 = 22/8 + 25/8

                                                                            = (22 + 25)/8

                                                                            = 47/8 kg

So

He collectively used on afritada and menudo = 47/8 kg

He used for pochero = Total - used on afritada and menudo

                                   = 15/2 - 47/8 = 60/8 - 47/8 = (60 - 47)/8

                                   = 13/8 kg

So

He used for pochero = 13/8 kg
