Answer 1

Answer:

The sketch pens cost Rs 1/2 more than a ball point pen

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First convert both the numbers into improper fraction i.e. 22 1/2= 45/2 & 58 4/5 = 235/4

2. Then using unitary method take out the cost of the ball point pen and sketch pen. 1 ball point pen 45/2÷2= 45/4 &

235/4 ÷ 5 = 47/4

3. Then subtract the cost of one ball point pen from cost of one sketch pen i.e. 47/4 -45/4 = 2/4, 2/4 can be devided and we get 1/2 as answer

And here you go. Yay! We got the answer.
