Answer 2

He purchased 7kg 800g more apples than mangoes.

Given: Rajat's father bought 10 kg 500 g of apples and 2 kg 700 g of mangoes from the market.

To find: Which fruit did he purchase more and by how much?

Solution :

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process. (our goal is to calculate the fruit which is being purchased more)

He bought,

• Apple = 10kg 500g = (10 × 1000)g + 500g = (10000 + 500)g = 10500g
• Mangoes = 2kg 700g = (2 × 1000)g + 700g = 2700g

[As 1 kg = 1000g]

Now,

10500g > 2700g

So, he purchased more apples.

Amount difference :

= (10500 - 2700)g

= 7800g

= (7000g + 800g)

= (7000 ÷ 1000)kg + 800g [As 1000g = 1kg]

= 7kg 800g

Hence, he purchased 7kg 800g more apples than mangoes.
