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?

Result

m =  0.85 kg

Solution:

$m_{1}=\dfrac{ 3 }{ 5 }=0.6 \ \text{kg} \ \\ m_{2}=\dfrac{ 1 }{ 4 }=0.25 \ \text{kg} \ \\ \ \\ m=m_{1}+m_{2}=0.6+0.25=\dfrac{ 17 }{ 20 }=0.85 \ \text{kg}$
