• A. 3.32 kg
• B. 1.32 kg
• C. 2.32 kg
• D. 2.23 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2.32 kg

Total weight of vegetables purchased by Angel = 8.79 kg

Weight of vegetables used in one week = 6.47 kg

∴ Total weight of the remaining vegetables = (8.79 - 6.47) kg

Now, to calculate 8.79 - 6.47, we use the following decimal representation:


Following the given representation, 8.79 and 6.47 can be shown as:


So, calculating 8.79 - 6.47, we get:


The final difference is represented by 2 flats, 3 rods, and 2 blocks.

So, 8.79 - 6.47 = 2.32

∴ The total weight of the remaining vegetables is 2.32 kg.
