Explanation:


\bf \underline{Given-} \\


\sf{Mother \: bought \: 4 (1)/(3) \: kilograms \: of \: bananas \: and } \\ \sf{ 4 (4)/(5) \: kilograms \: of \: oranges \: for \: her \: children.} \\


\bf \underline{To \: find-} \\


\sf \: Total\:kilograms \: of \: fruits \: did \: she \: buy \: in \: all \: ? \\


\bf \underline{Solution-} \\


\sf{Total \: weight \: of \: fruits = \bigg(4 (1)/(3) + 4 (4)/(5) \bigg)Kg} \\


\sf{ = \bigg((13)/(3) + (80)/(5) \bigg)Kg} \\

Take LCM of 3 & 5 is 15.


\sf{ = \bigg( (65 + 240)/(15) \bigg)Kg} \\


\sf{ = (305)/(15) \: Kg} \\


\sf{ =2 (5)/(15) \: Kg} \\
