Sarita bought $ \frac{2}{5} $ metre of ribbon and Lalita $ \frac{3}{4} $ metre of ribbon. What is the total length of the ribbon they bought?
Given:
Sarita bought \( \frac{2}{5} \) metre of ribbon and Lalita \( \frac{3}{4} \) metre of ribbon.
To do :
We have to find the total length of the ribbon they bought
Solution :
Length of the ribbon bought by Sarita $= \frac{2}{5}\ m$
Length of the ribbon bought by Lalita $= \frac{3}{4}\ m$
Therefore,
Total length of the ribbon bought by both of them $=\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{4}$
LCM of denominators 5 and 4 is 20.
This implies,
$\frac{2}{5} + \frac{3}{4}= \frac{2\times4+3\times5}{20}$
$=\frac{8+15}{20}$
$=\frac{23}{20}\ m$
Total length of the ribbon bought by both Sarita and Lalita is $\frac{23}{20}$ metres.
