​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Sameera purchased $1\frac{1}{5}$ kg apples , $3\frac{1}{2}$ kg oranges and $2\frac{3}{7}$ kg grapes.

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

Solution:

          Sameera purchased apples    = $1\frac{1}{5}$ kg

                                                            = $\frac{6}{5}$ kg

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

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

          Sameera purchased grapes   =  $2\frac{3}{7}$ kg

                                                           = $\frac{17}{7}$ kg

Total Weight:    =   $\frac{6}{5} + \frac{7}{2} + \frac{17}{7}$

                          =  LCM of 5,2,7 = 70

                          = $\frac{84 + 245 + 170}{70}$

                          =  $\frac{499}{70}$
