Answer: $8\frac{1}{4}$

Concept: This is the question of the 'Fraction' chapter. Given the question is the word problem of mixed fraction. We must know about operations on fractions.

Given: Radha purchased $4\frac{3}{4}$ mangoes and $3\frac{1}{2}$ apples

To find: The total weight of fruits?

Solution:

first, we convert the mixed fraction into the proper fraction and then solve it

               $4\frac{3}{4} +3\frac{1}{2}$

         $=\frac{16+3}{4}+\frac{6+1}{2}$

         $=\frac{19}{4}+\frac{7}{2}$

         $= \frac{19+14}{4}$

         $= \frac{33}{4}$

         $= 8\frac{1}{4}$

The weight of fruits purchased by her is $8\frac{1}{4}$
