A shopkeeper 3

A shopkeeper sells 8 1/3 kg, 10 1/4 kg and 11 1/5 kg of apples on 3 consecutive days. What is the total weight of apples sold?

Correct answer:

x =  29.7833 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=8{\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}=8+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{8\cdot 3+1}{3}}={\displaystyle \frac{25}{3}}\doteq 8.3333\text{ kg } \\ b=10{\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}=10+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{10\cdot 4+1}{4}}={\displaystyle \frac{41}{4}}=10.25\text{ kg } \\ c=11{\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}}=11+{\displaystyle \frac{1}{5}}={\displaystyle \frac{11\cdot 5+1}{5}}={\displaystyle \frac{56}{5}}=11.2\text{ kg } \\ x=a+b+c=8.3333+10.25+11.2={\displaystyle \frac{1787}{60}}\text{ kg}=29\frac{47}{60}\text{ kg}=29.7833\text{ kg} \end{gathered}$$
