Question

Three boxes weight 18 ⅜ kg , 7½ and 10⅕ kg respectively .A porter carries all the 3 boxes . What is the total weight carried by the porter ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

36 9/20 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

since the porter is carrying all the three boxes the total weight experienced by him will be-

18 3/4 kg + 7 1/2 kg + 10 1/5 kg

converting them into improper fraction we get-

75/4, 15/2 and 51/5

L.C.M of 4, 2 and 5 is 20

Therefore, converting them into like fraction we get

375/20, 150/20 and 204/20

Therefore the sum will be--

375/20 + 150/20 + 204/20 = 729/20

converting it into mixed fraction we get 36 9/20

Therefore the total weight carried by the porter is 36 9/20 kg.
