Answer 2

✬ Total Weight = 8.1 kg ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Weight of potatoes is 12/5 kg.
• Weight of tomatoes is 7/2 kg.
• Weight of turnips is 1 kg.
• Weight of onions is 6/5 kg.

To Find:

• What is the total weight of vegetables bought by her ?

Solution: Let x kg of vegetables are bought by Sanju's mother.

➟ Potatoes = 12/5 = 2.4 kg

➟ Tomatoes = 7/2 = 3.5 kg

➟ Turnips = 1 kg

➟ Onions = 6/5 = 1.2kg

So, total weight of all vegetables will be

• Potatoes + Tomatoes + Turnip + Onions

Since, total weight is x kg. Therefore,

$\implies{\rm }$ 2.4 + 3.5 + 1 + 1.2= x

$\implies{\rm }$ 8.1 = x

Hence, she bought 8.1 kg of vegetables.

★ By LCM method ★

➟ Potatoes = 12/5

➟ Tomatoes = 7/2

➟ Turnips = 1 kg

➟ Onions = 6/5 kg

So, total weight of all vegetables will be

• Potatoes + Tomatoes + Turnip + Onions

$\implies{\rm }$ 12/5 + 7/2 + 1 + 6/5 = x

$\implies{\rm }$ 24 + 35 + 10 + 12/10 = x

$\implies{\rm }$ 81/10 = x

$\implies{\rm }$ 8.1 = x

Hence, total weight is 8.1 kg.
