Question
Suyash bought `2 1/2` kg of sugar and Ashish bought `3 1/2` kg. How much sugar did they buy altogether? If sugar costs 32 rupees per kg, how much did they spend on the sugar they bought?
Solution
The amount of sugar they bought altogether = `2 1/2+3 1/2`
= `5/2+7/2`
= `(5+7)/2`
= `12/2`
= 6 kg
Now, the cost of 1 kg of sugar = Rs 32
Therefore, the cost of 6 kg of sugar is = 6 × 32
= Rs 192
Hence, they spend Rs 192 on the sugar they bought.
