Answer:

$8\frac{1}{4}$  kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Sameera purchased $3\frac{1}{2}$ kg apples and  $4\frac{3}{4}$ kg oranges .

To Find : What is the total weight of fruits purchased by her ?

Solution:

Sameera purchased apples = $3\frac{1}{2}$ kg

                                              =$\frac{7}{2}$ kg

Sameera purchased oranges = $4\frac{3}{4}$ kg

                                              =$\frac{19}{4}$ kg

Total weight = $\frac{7}{2}+\frac{19}{4}$

                     = $\frac{14+19}{4}$

                     = $\frac{33}{4}$

                     = $8\frac{1}{4}$

Hence the total weight of fruits purchased by her is $8\frac{1}{4}$  kg
