Question

Rishi kept 4 5/
12
litres of milk in a can. Likith added 3 5/
6
litres of milk in the can. How many
litres of milk is there in the can now?

Answer 1

Answer:

If 4 5/12 liters of milk was kept by Rishi and Likith added 3 5/6 liters to it, then the can have 8 1/4 literal of milk now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Liters of milk Rishi kept =

$4\frac{5}{12} \\\\=\frac{(12*4)+5}{12} \\\\= \frac{48+5}{12} \\\\=\frac{53}{12}$

So, Rishi kept 53/12 liters of milk

Liters of milk Likith added =

$3\frac{5}{6} \\\\= \frac{(6*3)+5}{6} \\\\= \frac{18+5}{6} \\\\=\frac{23}{6}$

So Likith added 23/6 liters of milk

Liters of milk now the can has= milk Rishi kept+ milk Likith added

$= \frac{53}{12} +\frac{23}{6} \\\\=\frac{53}{12} +\frac{23*2}{6*2}$

$=\frac{53}{12} +\frac{46}{12} \\\\=\frac{99}{12} \\\\=\frac{33}{4} \\\\= 8\frac{1}{4} liters$

So that the can now has $8\frac{1}{4}$ liters of milk now
