Question

Roma purchased $2\frac{1}{3}kg$ apples and $4\frac{3}{4}kg$ oranges. The total weight of the fruits she purchased is ______

Answer 1

Apple purchased = $2\frac{1}{3}kg=\frac{7}{3}kg$

Oranges purchased = $4\frac{3}{4}kg=\frac{19}{4}kg$

Total weight = $\frac{7}{3}+\frac{19}{4}$

=$\frac{7}{3}\times \frac{4}{4}+\frac{19}{4}\times \frac{3}{3}$

= $\frac{28}{12}+\frac{57}{12}$

=$\frac{85}{12}$

= $7\frac{1}{12}kg$

Hence, Roma purchased $7\frac{1}{12}kg$ of fruits.
