    One bag of grapes weighs 3/4 kg and another bag of grapes weighs 1/2 kg. What is the total weight of the grapes?

    • 1 1/3 kg

    • 1 1/4 kg

    • 4/5 kg

    • 4/6 kg

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 1/4 kg
    Explanation
    The total weight of the grapes can be found by adding the weight of the two bags together. The weight of the first bag is 3/4 kg and the weight of the second bag is 1/2 kg. To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which is 4. So, the weight of the first bag can be written as 3/4 kg = 3/4 * 4/4 = 12/16 kg. The weight of the second bag can be written as 1/2 kg = 1/2 * 8/8 = 8/16 kg. Adding these fractions together, we get 12/16 + 8/16 = 20/16 kg. Simplifying this fraction, we get 1 1/4 kg. Therefore, the total weight of the grapes is 1 1/4 kg.
