Weigh in total

I put 3/5 kg of grapes into a box which is 1/4kg in weight. How many kilograms do the grapes and the box weigh in total?

Correct answer:

m =  0.85 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} m_1={\displaystyle \frac{3}{5}}=0.6\text{ kg } \\ {m}_2={\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}=0.25\text{ kg } \\ m=m_1+m_2=0.6+0.25={\displaystyle \frac{17}{20}}\text{ kg}=0.85\text{ kg} \end{gathered}$$
