Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?
Given:
Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas.
To do:
We have to find who bought more.
Solution:
We know that,
$1000\ g=1\ kg$
According to the question,
Weight of apples bought by Shyama $=5\ kg\ 300\ g$
$=5\ kg+0.3\ kg=5.3\ kg$ [Since, $300\ g=300\times(\frac{1}{1000})\ kg=0.3\ kg$]
Weight of mangoes bought by Shyama$=3\ kg\ 250\ g$
$=3\ kg+0.25\ kg=3.25\ kg$ [Since, $250 g=250\times(\frac{1}{1000})\ kg=0.25\ kg$]
Total weight of fruits bought by Shyama$=5.3\ kg+3.25\ kg=8.55\ kg$
Weight of oranges bought by Sarala$=4\ kg\ 800\ g$
$= 4\ kg+0.8\ kg=4.8\ kg$ [Since, $800 g=800\times(\frac{1}{1000})\ kg=0.8\ kg$]
Weight of bananas bought by Sarala$=4\ kg\ 150\ g$
$=4\ kg+0.15\ kg=4.15\ kg$ [Since, $150\ g=250\times(\frac{1}{1000})\ kg=1.5\ kg$]
Total weight of fruits bought by Sarala $=4.8\ kg+4.15\ kg=8.95\ kg$
On comparing the quantity of fruits, we get
$8.95\ kg$ > $8.55\ kg$
Thus, Sarala bought more fruits.
