Let the quantity of grapes is ‘x’ kg. So, according to the question. x/1 Kg + 43/6 kg + 26/3 kg = 20 kg Taking L.C.M. of the denominators and then solving it, we get. (6x + 43 + 52)/6 = 20 6x + 95 = 20*6 6x = 120 – 95 6x = 25 x = 25/6 Kg So, the grapes are 25/6 kilograms. Or, 4.166 kg Reply
Let the quantity of grapes is ‘x’ kg.
So, according to the question.
x/1 Kg + 43/6 kg + 26/3 kg = 20 kg
Taking L.C.M. of the denominators and then solving it, we get.
(6x + 43 + 52)/6 = 20
6x + 95 = 20*6
6x = 120 – 95
6x = 25
x = 25/6 Kg
So, the grapes are 25/6 kilograms.
Or, 4.166 kg
