Question

Marry has 20.52 kg of rice. If she gave 15.39 kg of rice to her friend. How much rice does Marry have now?

• A. 5.13 kg
• B. 4.03 kg
• C. 6.13 kg
• D. 6.03 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A 5.13 kg

Weight of rice with Marry = 20.52 kg
Weight of rice given to Marry's friend = 15.39 kg

Weight of rice with Marry now = (20.52 $-$ 15.39) kg

For subtraction, we align decimal points of numbers and then subtract numbers.
20.52
$-$ 15.39
________
5.13
Hence, weight of rice with Marry now = 5.13 kg
