Answer 1

Answer:Amount of rice cooked by Alice =2 11/24kg

Together  Alice and Jasmine cooked 4 7/24kg of rice

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of rice cooked by Jasmine =1 5/6 kg

Amount of rice cooked by Alice = 5/8 kg more than Jasmine

=1 5/6 kg+ 5/8 kg

=1 (20 +15) /24

=1 35/24

=1 +1 11/24

= 2 11/24 kg

Together  Alice and Jasmine cooked 1 5/6 kg + 2 11/24kg =

=3 20 +11/24

=3 31/24=3 +1 7/24

=4 7/24kg
