Answer:
(hint: convert all the quantities to the same unit)
amount of rice that Varsha bought = 7 kg
amount of wheat that Varsha bought = 1 kg 500 g = 1.5 kg
total amount of grains that Varsha bought = 7 kg + 1.5 kg = 8.5 kg
amount of rice that Rita bought = 4000 g = 4 kg
amount of wheat that Rita bought = 3 kg 600 g = 3.6 kg
total amount of grains that Rita bought = 4 kg + 3.6 kg = 7.6 kg
which of them bought more grains?
since, 8.5kg (Varsha's grains) > 7.6kg (Rita's grains)
therefore, Varsha bought more grains than Rita.
