Question

If the school bags of Rohan and Ayushi weigh $4.7kg$and $3.568kg$respectively, find:

The sum of weights of two bags.

Answer 1

Step 1. Converting the decimals into like decimals:

Given, the weight of Rohan's bag $=4.7kg$

The weight of Ayushi's bag $=3.568kg$

Here the decimals $4.7$and $3.568$ are unlike decimals, because $4.7$has $1$ number at the decimal place and $3.568$ has $3$ numbers at the decimal place.

$4.7=4.700$

Now, $4.700$ and $3.568$are like decimals.

Step 2. Adding the weights of two bags:

Sum of the weights of two bags $=$ Weight of Rohan's bag $+$ Weight of Ayushi's bag

$=4.700+3.568$

$=8.268kg$

Hence, the sum of weights of the school bags of Rohan and Ayushi is $8.268kg$.
