Question

Sunil purchased $12\frac{1}{2}$ litres of juice on Monday and $14\frac{3}{4}$ litres of juice on Tuesday . How many litres of juice did he purchase together in two days?

Answer 1

Juice purchased by Sunil on Monday $=12\frac{1}{2}$ litres $=\frac{25}{2}$ litrres

Juice purchased by Sunil on Tuesday $=14\frac{3}{4}$ litres $=\frac{59}{4}$ litres

$\therefore$ Total juice purchased $=\frac{25}{2}+\frac{59}{4}$

$=\frac{(25\times 2)+(59\times 1)}{4}=\frac{50+59}{4}$

$=\frac{109}{4}$ litres
