Question

surbhi purchased 4kg 400g rice 3kg 20gwheatand6kg 850g sugar find the total weigh of her purchase? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The total weight of Surbhi's purchase is 14 kg 270 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎${\underline{\underline{\bf{Given:}}}}$

$\begin{gathered}\boxed{\begin{array}{ c |c}{ \boxed{ \bf {Product}}}& { \boxed{\bf {Quantity}}}\\ \dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf Rice}&\dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf4 \: kg \: 400 \: g \: \:}& \\ \dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf Wheat }& \dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf 3 \: kg \: 20 \: g \: \:}& \\ \dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf \:Sugar\:}&\dfrac{\qquad\qquad}{ \sf 6 \: kg \: 850 g\:} \end{array}}\end{gathered}$

${\underline{\underline{\bf{To\:find:}}}}$

• The total weight of Surbhi's purchase.

${\underline{\underline{\bf{Solution:}}}}$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎In order to find the total weight, we have to sum up the given quantities. And to sum up, we will be using the arithmetic operation "Addition" (unary plus).

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎If we look at the given data, the units of the quantities are different. So, first let's convert them into same units.

$\:$

As we know, ${\boxed{\tt{1\:kg=1,000\:g}}}$

$\:$

Rice:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎4 kg 400 g

$\mapsto{\sf{4\:kg\rightarrow 4\times 1000=\underline{4,000\:g}}}$

Adding the quantities with same units-

$\mapsto{\sf{4000+400=\bf{4,400\:g}}}$

Wheat:

‎ ‎ ‎ 3 kg 20 g

$\mapsto{\sf{4\:kg\rightarrow 3\times 1000=\underline{3,000\:g}}}$

Adding the quantities with same units-

$\mapsto{\sf{3000+20=\bf{3,020\:g}}}$

Sugar:

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎6 kg 850 g

$\mapsto{\sf{4\:kg\rightarrow 6\times 1000=\underline{6,000\:g}}}$

Adding the quantities with same units-

$\mapsto{\sf{6000+850=\bf{6,850\:g}}}$

Now, we have converted the quantities to same units. So, we can proceed finding the required answer by adding the quantities:

$\\\:\:\:\:\::\implies{\sf{4400+3020+6850}}$

$\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\::\implies{\sf{7420+6850}}$

$\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\::\implies{\underline{\bf{14,270\:g}}}$

$\:$

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Converting the total weight into 'kilograms':

${\boxed{\tt{1\:g=\dfrac{1}{1000}\:kg}}}$

$\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\mapsto{\sf{14,270\:g=14270\times \dfrac{1}{1000}}}$

$\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\mapsto{\sf{14,270\:g=\dfrac{14270}{1000}}}$

$\\\:\:\:\:\:\:\mapsto{\sf{14,270\:g=14.27\:kg=\boxed{\frak{\red{14\:kg\:270\:g}}}}}$

Answer 2

• Weight of rice bought by Surbhi = 4 kg 400 g.

• Weight of wheat bought by her = 3 kg 20 g.

• Weight of sugar bought be her = 6 kg 850 g.

A.T.Q, the total weight of her purchase is required. Sum of all the given quantities –> Total weight.
