Bonita bought 2 and 1/5 kg of potatoes and 1 and 1/2 kg of carrots. How much more potatoes than carrots did she buy?
2 1/5 = 1 6/5 = 1 12/10
1 1/2 = 1 5/10
1 12/10 - 1 5/10 = 7/10
2 and 1/5 = 11/5kg potatoes
1 and 1/2 = 3/2 kg carrots
11/5 - 3/2 = 22/10- 15/10 = 7/10
Well, let's do the math. If Bonita bought 2 and 1/5 kg of potatoes, and 1 and 1/2 kg of carrots, we can subtract them to find out the difference.
So, 2 and 1/5 minus 1 and 1/2 equals... wait, did you know that potatoes like to tell carrot jokes? They're always "rooting" for laughter! Anyway, back to the question.
2 and 1/5 minus 1 and 1/2 = 2.2 - 1.5 = 0.7 kg
Therefore, Bonita bought 0.7 kg more potatoes than carrots. That potato must have been really excited!
To find out how much more potatoes than carrots Bonita bought, we need to subtract the weight of the carrots from the weight of the potatoes.
The weight of the potatoes is 2 and 1/5 kg, which can be written as a mixed number as 11/5 kg.
The weight of the carrots is 1 and 1/2 kg, which can be written as a mixed number as 3/2 kg.
To subtract the weight of the carrots from the weight of the potatoes, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10.
Converting 11/5 to have a denominator of 10: (11/5) * (2/2) = 22/10.
Converting 3/2 to have a denominator of 10: (3/2) * (5/5) = 15/10.
Subtracting the weight of the carrots from the weight of the potatoes: 22/10 - 15/10 = 7/10.
Therefore, Bonita bought 7/10 kg more potatoes than carrots.
To find out how much more potatoes than carrots Bonita bought, we need to subtract the weight of carrots from the weight of potatoes.
First, let's convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
2 and 1/5 kg of potatoes is equal to (2 * 5 + 1) / 5 = 11/5 kg.
1 and 1/2 kg of carrots is equal to (1 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 3/2 kg.
Now, subtract the weight of the carrots from the weight of the potatoes:
11/5 kg - 3/2 kg = (11 * 2 - 3 * 5) / (5 * 2) = (22 - 15) / 10 = 7/10 kg.
Therefore, Bonita bought 7/10 kg more potatoes than carrots.
