Question

Noah picked 3 kg of cherries. Mai picked half as many cherries as Noah. How many total kg of cherries did Mai and Noah pick?

Answer 1

Answer:

They picked 4 and one half kilograms of cherries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that:

Cherries picked by Noah: $3kg$

Cherries picked by Mai: $\frac{3}{2}kg$, because she picked half as many cherries as Noah.

Therefore, the total number of cherries would be the sum of Noah's cherries and Mai's cherries:

$3kg+\frac{3}{2}kg= \frac{9}{2} kg = 4.5 kg$

So, they picked 4 and one half kilograms of cherries.
