Answer:


Needed = (9)/(20)kg

Explanation:

Given


Needed\ Flour= 1kg\ \&\ (1)/(4)kg

Required

How much flour he add to
(4)/(5)kg to get the desired amount

We start by adding 1kg to 1/4kg


Total = 1kg+ (1)/(4)kg

Take LCM


Total =(4 +1 )/(4)kg


Total = (5)/(4)kg

Next, we subtract the
(4)/(5)kg from the above total


Needed = (5)/(4)kg - (4)/(5)kg

Take LCM


Needed = (25 - 16)/(20)kg


Needed = (9)/(20)kg

Hence; He needs
(9)/(20)kgamount of flour
