Question

Maya bought 5 kg 300 g bananas and 3 kg 250 kg oranges. Diya bought 4 kg 800 g apples and 4 kg 150 g of mangoes. Who bought more fruits.

Answer 1

Total fruits bought by Maya = 5 kg 300 g + 3 kg 250 g 

= 8 kg 550 g 

= 8.550 kg 

Total fruits Diya bought = 4 kg 800 g + 4 kg 150 g 

= 8 kg 950 g 

= 8.950 kg 

Comparing the whole number parts, they are equal.

Comparing the tenths place we get 9 > 5. 

∴ 8.950 kg > 8.550 kg 

∴ Diya bought more fruits.
