Question

Sheetal weighs herself on Monday, she found that she had lost

3

1

4

kg of weight. If her earlier weight

was

5

48

8

kg, what was her weight on Monday?​

Answer 1

Let sheetal’s weight on monday be x kg,

After loosing 1 3/4 kg from 48 5/8 kg, her weight became x kg.

So the equation is 48 5/8 - 1 3/4=x

x=(48*8+5)/8 - (1*4+3)/4

x=(384+5)/8 - (4+3)/4

x=(389/8)-(7/4)
