Question

Sunita bought a 10 kg box of grapes from the market. She gave 3 1/2 kg of her grapes to her friend Reena and 2 1/4 kg to Anita. How many kilograms of grapes were left with her?

Answer 1

17/4 kg

Explanation:

Sunita has = 10kg of grapes

Quantity given out :

To Reena =3 1/2

7/2 kg

To Anita =2 1/4

9/4 kg

Total quantity of grape given out

7/2+9/4

(14+9)/4

23/4

Quantity left after giving out = Total quantity of grape before giving out minus quantity of grape given out

10/1 - 23/4

40-23)/4

= 17/4 or 4 1/4

Hence, she has 17/4 kg of grape left with her
