Question

There are Vitamins B1 and B2 in fruit avocado.

Calculate the total amount of vitamins in the fruit.

• A. $\frac{12}{24}$
• B. $\frac{16}{24}$
• C. $\frac{14}{24}$
• D. $\frac{20}{24}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{14}{24}$

$\text{Amount of Vitamin B1 =}\frac{1}{4}$

$\text{Amount of Vitamin B2 =}\frac{2}{6}$

Total amount of vitamins
= Sum of (B1 + B2) vitamins
$=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{6}$

Since the denominator are not the same, we have to convert these into like fractions.

Let's convert them into like fractions
$=\frac{1\times 6}{4\times 6}+\frac{2\times 4}{6\times 4}$

$=\frac{6}{24}+\frac{8}{24}$

$=\frac{6+8}{24}$

$=\frac{14}{24}$
