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?
- A.
1 1/3 kg
- B.
1 1/4 kg
- C.
4/5 kg
- D.
4/6 kg
Correct Answer
B. 1 1/4 kgExplanation
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.Rate this question:

Add 1/10 and 2/5
- A.
1/2
- B.
3/10
- C.
1/4
- D.
3/15
Correct Answer
A. 1/2Explanation
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 10. We then convert 1/10 to have a denominator of 10 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 5. This gives us 5/50. We convert 2/5 to have a denominator of 10 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2. This gives us 4/10. Now that both fractions have a common denominator, we can add them together. 5/50 + 4/10 equals 9/50. However, we can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 5, which gives us 1/10. Therefore, the correct answer is 1/10.Rate this question:

Therefore, the correct answer is 175 cm.Rate this question:
