Question

Savita bought 2/5 m of ribbon and Kavita 3/4 of ribbon. Find the total length of the ribbon they bought.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In the given problem we have to find the total length of the ribbon.

Here, the total length of the ribbon bought by Sarita is 2/5 m

And the total length of ribbon bought by Lalita is 3/4 m

To find the total length we need to add both the length obtained above.

The total length of the ribbon bought by both of them is 2 / 5 + 3 / 4

Taking LCM of 20

= [(2 × 4) + (3 × 5)] / 20

= (8 + 15) / 20

= 23 / 20 metre

Therefore, the total length of the ribbon bought by both Sarita and Lalita is 23/20 m
