Problem:

Noah picked 3 kg of cherries. Mai picked half as many cherries as Noah. How many total kg of cherries did Mai and Noah pick?

Solution:

Cherries picked by Noah: 3kg

Cherries picked by Mai: 3/2 kg. Because she picked half as many cherries as Noah.

Therefore, the total number of cherries would be the sum of Noah's cherries and Mai's cherries, that is:

9/2 kg
