Question

Renu buys ¾ kg potatoes and ⅝ kg tomatoes. She puts them in an empty bag, what is the weight of the bag now?

Answer 1

Weight of bag= 3/4+5/8

Lcm of 4 and 8=2×2×2=8

______________________

$= > \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{6}{8}$

$= > \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{5}{8}$

$= > \frac{6 + 5}{8} = \frac{11}{8}$

So the bag weighs 11/8 kgs

Answer 2

Answer:

Weight of bag= 3/4+5/8

Lcm of 4 and 8=2×2×2=8

______________________

= > \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{6}{8}=>43×22=86

= > \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{1}{1} = \frac{5}{8}=>85×11=85

= > \frac{6 + 5}{8} = \frac{11}{8}=>86+5=811

So the bag weighs 11/8 kgs
