Karmila had 2 kg of meat. She used 3/10 of it to cook curry and 1/2 of the remainder to cook soup.
(A) How much meat did she use to cook curry? Give your answer in kilograms.
(B) How many grams of meat did she have left?
And the answer is not 1400 or 0.7
To find the amount of meat Karmila used to cook curry, we need to calculate 3/10 of 2 kg:
(3/10) * 2 kg = 6/10 kg = 0.6 kg.
To find the amount of meat Karmila had left after cooking curry, we subtract the amount used for curry from the initial 2 kg:
2 kg - 0.6 kg = 1.4 kg.
Now, to find the amount of meat Karmila used to cook soup, we calculate 1/2 of the remaining 1.4 kg:
(1/2) * 1.4 kg = 0.7 kg.
Therefore, Karmila used 0.6 kg of meat to cook curry and had 0.7 kg (700 grams) of meat left.
