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?

Answer:

                For Shyama Apples bought = 5 kg 300 g = 5.300 kg Mangoes bought = 3 kg 250 g = 3.250 kg \[\therefore \] Fruits bought = Apples bought + Mangoes bought = 5.300 kg + 3.250 kg = 8.550 kg                            \[\left| \begin{align}   & \underline{\begin{align}   & \text{   5}\text{.300} \\  & \text{ +3}\text{.250} \\ \end{align}} \\  & \text{  8}\text{.550} \\ \end{align} \right.\] For Sarala Oranges bought = 4 kg 800 g = 4.800 kg Bananas bought = 4 kg 150 g = 4.150 kg \[\therefore \]   Fruits bought = Oranges bought + Bananas bought = 4.800 kg + 4.150 kg \[\text{= 8}\text{.950 kg}\]         \[\left| \begin{align}   & \underline{\begin{align}   & \text{    4}\text{.800} \\  & \text{ + 4}\text{.150} \\ \end{align}} \\  & \text{8}\text{.950} \\ \end{align} \right.\]                 \[\because \]     \[8.950>8.550\]                 So, Sarala bought more fruits.
