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:

Total fruits bought by Shyama =5 kg 300g + 3 kg 250g =8 kg 550g = 8 kg \[+\frac{550}{1000}\]kg = 8 + 0.550 = 8.550 kg \[\left[ \because 1g=\frac{1}{1000}kg \right]\]                                                                                                        And total fruits bought by Sarala = 4 kg 800g + 4 kg 150g = 8 kg 950g =8kg \[+\frac{950}{1000}\] kg = 8 + 0.950 = 8.950 kg                                                                                                 \[\left[ \because 1g=\frac{1}{1000}kg \right]\] Hence, it is clear that 8.950 > 8. 550 \[\therefore \]Sarala bought more fruits than Shyama.
