Answer 2

To find : weight of other book

Given : The weight of two books together is $\frac{5}{6}$ kg.

            weight of one book $\frac{1}{4}$ kg .

Solution :

• We are given that  weight of two books together is $\frac{5}{6}$ kg and one of the book weighs $\frac{1}{4}$ kg .
• Let , weight of other book be $x$ .
• Therefore , we write given condition as ,
• $x + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{6}$

        $x =\frac{5}{6} - \frac{1}{4}$

       $x = \frac{14}{24} \\x = \frac{7}{12}$

Hence , weight of other book is $\frac{7}{12}$ kg .
