The correct Answer is:
To find the total weight of the three packets, we need to add the weights given in mixed fractions. The weights are: 1. \(2 \frac{3}{4}\) kg 2. \(3 \frac{1}{3}\) kg 3. \(5 \frac{2}{5}\) kg ### Step 1: Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions 1. For \(2 \frac{3}{4}\): \[ 2 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{8 + 3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \] 2. For \(3 \frac{1}{3}\): \[ 3 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{3 \times 3 + 1}{3} = \frac{9 + 1}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \] 3. For \(5 \frac{2}{5}\): \[ 5 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5 \times 5 + 2}{5} = \frac{25 + 2}{5} = \frac{27}{5} \] ### Step 2: Add the improper fractions Now we need to add \(\frac{11}{4}\), \(\frac{10}{3}\), and \(\frac{27}{5}\). To do this, we first find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 4, 3, and 5. ### Step 3: Find the LCM of the denominators The LCM of 4, 3, and 5: - The prime factorization is: - \(4 = 2^2\) - \(3 = 3^1\) - \(5 = 5^1\) The LCM is: \[ 2^2 \times 3^1 \times 5^1 = 4 \times 3 \times 5 = 60 \] ### Step 4: Convert each fraction to have the same denominator 1. Convert \(\frac{11}{4}\): \[ \frac{11}{4} = \frac{11 \times 15}{4 \times 15} = \frac{165}{60} \] 2. Convert \(\frac{10}{3}\): \[ \frac{10}{3} = \frac{10 \times 20}{3 \times 20} = \frac{200}{60} \] 3. Convert \(\frac{27}{5}\): \[ \frac{27}{5} = \frac{27 \times 12}{5 \times 12} = \frac{324}{60} \] ### Step 5: Add the fractions Now we can add the fractions: \[ \frac{165}{60} + \frac{200}{60} + \frac{324}{60} = \frac{165 + 200 + 324}{60} = \frac{689}{60} \] ### Step 6: Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number To convert \(\frac{689}{60}\) to a mixed number: 1. Divide 689 by 60: - \(689 \div 60 = 11\) remainder \(29\) Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{689}{60} = 11 \frac{29}{60} \] ### Final Answer The total weight of all three packets is: \[ 11 \frac{29}{60} \text{ kg} \]
