​

Answer 1

➤ Answer :-

Milk bought by Mrs.Singh $=\sf 8 \frac{1}{2}$ litres

Milk bought by Mrs.Kaul $=\sf 5 \frac{4}{5}$ litres

$\dashrightarrow \sf8 \frac{1}{2} - 5 \frac{4}{5}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{17}{2} - \frac{29}{5}$

LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{17 \times 5}{2 \times 5} - \frac{29 \times 2}{5 \times 2}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{85}{10} - \frac{58}{10} = \frac{85 - 58}{10}$

$\dashrightarrow \sf \frac{27}{10} = 2 \frac{7}{10}$

$\Huge\therefore$Mrs.Singh bought more milk than Mrs.Kaul by $\sf 2 \frac{7}{10}$ litres.
