A shopkeeper sold 10 5/9 kg of sugar on monday and 12 3/5 kg on sugar on Tuesday. total quantity of sugar sold in both days?

To find the total quantity of sugar sold on both Monday and Tuesday, you can add the quantities sold on each day:

Quantity sold on Monday = 10 5/9 kg Quantity sold on Tuesday = 12 3/5 kg

Now, add these two quantities together:

Total quantity sold = (10 5/9 kg) + (12 3/5 kg)

To add these fractions, it's helpful to find a common denominator. In this case, you can use 45 as the common denominator (9 * 5):

Total quantity sold = (10 * 5/5 + 5/9 kg) + (12 * 9/9 + 3/5 kg) Total quantity sold = (50/45 + 5/9 kg) + (108/45 + 27/45 kg)

Now, add the fractions:

Total quantity sold = (50/45 + 108/45 + 5/9 kg + 27/45 kg)

Total quantity sold = (158/45 + 32/45) kg

Now, add the fractions with a common denominator:

Total quantity sold = (158 + 32)/45 kg Total quantity sold = 190/45 kg

Now, simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5:

Total quantity sold = (190 ÷ 5) / (45 ÷ 5) kg Total quantity sold = 38/9 kg

So, the total quantity of sugar sold on both days is 38/9 kg, which can also be expressed as 4 2/9 kg.
