Question

Sheldon harvests the strawberries and tomatoes in his garden.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 3 13/20

B.3.8 kg

C.Strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this we just need to find the amount of strawberries he picked, and if he picked 1 2/5 less in the morning and in the morning he picked 2 1/4, we just add that up to know how much he picked in the afternoon:

$1\frac{2}{5}+ 2\frac{1}{4}\\1 \frac{2(4)}{20}+ 2\frac{1(5)}{20}\\1 \frac{8}{20}+ 2\frac{5}{20}\\\\3\frac{13}{20}$

So in the afternoon he picked $3\frac{13}{20}$.

Now he picked 5 3/10 kg of tomatoes but 1.5 were rotten, we just have to withdraw the rotten from the total:

$5\frac{3}{10} -1\frac{1}{2} \\5\frac{3}{10} -1\frac{5}{10} \\4\frac{3-5}{10} \\3\frac{13-5}{10} \\3\frac{8}{10}$

So now we know that he picked $3\frac{8}{10}$ kg of good tomatoes.

If he picked in the afternoon and the morning 5.05 kg of strawberries, he picked more strawberries than tomatoes.
