Answer 1

Given,

Weight of the purchased orange = 4¾ kg

To find,

Total weight of the total purchased fruits.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

First of all we have to simplify the given fractional values for the sake of their calculations.

Weight of the purchased apple = 3½ kg = 7/2 kg

Weight of the purchased orange = 4¾ kg = 19/4 kg

Total weight of the fruits = 7/2 + 19/4 = 14+19/4 = 33/4 = 7 5/4 kg

Hence, the total weight of the fruits is 7 5/4 kilograms.
