Question

At the shop , there were 4 1/10 kg apples and 6 3/4 kg of oranges . If cumtomers bought 7 3/5 kg of apples and oranges , how many kg of apples and oranges were left

Answer 1

3 1/4

Explanation:

total kg of apples and oranges in the store =

`4(1)/(10) + 6(3)/(4)`

`10(4+30)/(40)`

`10(34)/(40)`

kg left after the sales

`10(34)/(40) - 7(3)/(5)`

`3(34 - 24)/(40)` =
`3(10)/(40)`

To transform to the simplest form. divide both the numerator and the denominator by 4

3 1/4
