Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{14}{10}\ kg$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Henry has $\frac{5}{10}\ kg$ of flour and $\frac{9}{10}\ kg$ of sugar

If henry added the two amounts, the net weight of the two is

$\Rightarrow W_{net}=\dfrac{5}{10}+\dfrac{9}{10}\\\\\Rightarrow W_{net}=\dfrac{5+9}{10}=\dfrac{14}{10}\ kg\ \text{or}\ \dfrac{7}{5}\ kg$
