Question

A truck was loaded with $482kg100g$ of pumpkins and $307kg432g$ of watermelons. Find the total weight carried by the truck.

• A. $78kg953g$
• B. $789kg532g$
• C. $89kg532g$
• D. $780kg432g$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $789kg532g$

Let $482$ $kg$ $100$ $gm$ $=482kg+100gm$ $=A=$ Weight of Pumpkins

$307$ $kg$ $432$ $gm$ $=307kg+432gm$ $=B=$ Weight of Watermelons

(i) Given that, we have to add $482$ $kg$ $100$ $gm$ to $307$ $kg$ $432$ $gm$

$482kg+100gm$ $=A$ ...... (1)

$307kg+432gm$ $=B$ ...... (2)

Now as per the question we have to add A and B

$A+B=[482$ $kg$ $100$ $gm$] $+$ [$307$ $kg$ $432$ $gm$]

$A+B=[482$ $kg$ $+$ $307$ $kg$] $+$ [$100$ $gm$ $+$ $432$ $gm$]

$A+B=789$ $kg$ $+$ $532$ $gm$

The Total weights carried in Truck is $789$ $kg$ $532$ $gm$

Hence, option $B$ is correct
