• A. $1.35kg$
• B. $1.30kg$
• C. $1.25kg$
• D. $1.20kg$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $1.30kg$

Weight of mangoes bought by Andrew $=0.95kg$
Weight of oranges bought by Andrew $=0.35kg$
Total weight of fruits bought by Andrew $=0.95kg+0.35kg$

Step 1: Align the decimal numbers according to their place values one below the other.

Step 2: Add each column of digits, starting from the right.

If the sum of the digits in a column is more than $10$, regroup the numbers and add them.


Finally, place the decimal point in the sum vertically below the decimal points in the addition operation.
Therefore, Andrew bought $1.30kg$ of fruits in total
