8. Shyama bought 5 kg 300 g apples and 3 kg 250 g mangoes. Sarala bought 4 kg 800 g oranges and 4 kg 150 g bananas. Who bought more fruits?
For comparing two quantities, we should make their unit the same first. So,
Fruits bought by Shyama in kg = 5 kg + 300 g + 3 kg + 250 g
= 8 kg + 550 g
= 8 kg + 0.55 kg
= 8.55 kg.
Fruits bought by Sarala in kg = 4 kg + 800 g + 4 kg + 150 g
= 8 kg + 950 kg
= 8 kg + 0.95 kg
= 8.95 kg.
Hence Sarala bought more fruits as 8.95 > 8.55
The difference between the amount of Fruits they bought = 8.95 kg - 8.55 kg
= 0.4 kg
