Question

Parcel A weighs 3 4/5kg[mixed fraction]. Parcel B is 3/4 kg lighter than parcel A. Find the weight of parcel B.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

As, weight of parcel A = 3 1/4

= ( 3 x 4 + 1 )/4

= ( 12 + 1 )4

= 13/4

So, weight of parcel B = 13/4 - 3/4

= ( 13 - 3 )/4

= 10/4 answer

Answer 2

Given :

• Weight of Parcel A = $3\frac{4}{5}$ Kg

• Weight of Parcel B less than Parcel A by = $\frac{3}{4}$ Kg

To Find :

• Weight of Parcel B

Solution :

Weight of Parcel B is

$\implies \tt 3\frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ \implies \tt \frac{20}{5} - \frac{3}{4} \\ \\ \implies \tt\frac{80 - 15}{20} \\ \\ \implies \tt \frac{65}{20} \\ \\ \implies \tt \frac{13}{4}$

Weight of Parcel B is 13/4
