The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will calculate the total weight of fruits Mohan purchases every day. ### Step 1: Calculate the weight of bananas Mohan purchased 2 dozen bananas. Since 1 dozen equals 12, we can calculate the total number of bananas: \[ \text{Total bananas} = 2 \times 12 = 24 \text{ bananas} \] Next, we know that 6 bananas weigh 750 grams. To find the weight of 1 banana, we divide the total weight of 6 bananas by 6: \[ \text{Weight of 1 banana} = \frac{750 \text{ grams}}{6} = 125 \text{ grams} \] Now, to find the total weight of 24 bananas, we multiply the weight of 1 banana by 24: \[ \text{Weight of 24 bananas} = 24 \times 125 \text{ grams} = 3000 \text{ grams} \] To convert grams to kilograms, we divide by 1000: \[ \text{Weight of 24 bananas in kg} = \frac{3000 \text{ grams}}{1000} = 3 \text{ kg} \] ### Step 2: Calculate the weight of apples Mohan purchased \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg of apples. ### Step 3: Calculate the weight of other fruits Mohan purchased \(1 \frac{1}{2}\) kg of other fruits. We can convert this mixed number to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \text{ kg} \] ### Step 4: Calculate the total weight of all fruits Now, we will add the weights of all the fruits together: \[ \text{Total weight} = \text{Weight of bananas} + \text{Weight of apples} + \text{Weight of other fruits} \] Substituting the values we calculated: \[ \text{Total weight} = 3 \text{ kg} + \frac{1}{2} \text{ kg} + \frac{3}{2} \text{ kg} \] To add these, we can convert \(\frac{1}{2}\) kg to a fraction with a common denominator: \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4} \] Now, we can rewrite the total weight: \[ \text{Total weight} = 3 \text{ kg} + \frac{2}{4} \text{ kg} + \frac{6}{4} \text{ kg} = 3 \text{ kg} + \frac{8}{4} \text{ kg} = 3 \text{ kg} + 2 \text{ kg} = 5 \text{ kg} \] ### Final Answer Mohan purchases a total of **5 kg** of fruits every day. ---
