now 1.2-0.3=0.9kg (remaining )

shared equally with 4 persons

0.9/4 =0.225 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given - Total weight and number of people

Find - Share of each person

Solution - Each person's share will weigh 0.225 kilograms.

Firstly find the stored amount of melon.

Stored amount of melon = 1.2/4

Performing division

Stored amount of melon = 0.3 kilogram

Remaining part = 1.2 - 0.3

Performing subtraction

Remaining part of melon = 0.9 kilogram

Weight of each person's share = 0.9/4

Performing division

Weight of each person's share = 0.225 kilograms

So, each person's share will weigh 0.225 kilograms.
