Rabia bought 4/6 kg chicken, 2/3 kg mutton and 5/12 beef from a butcher's shop. She al bought 2 packs of 4/3 kg sugar and 3 packs of 3/4 kg rice from a grocery. Find the total weight of the items she bought from both places?

Answer: 20/3 kg
Explanation

Meat:

Chicken = 4/6 = 2/3 kg

Mutton = 2/3 kg

Beef = 5/12 kg

Total meat weight = 2/3 + 2/3 + 5/12

= (8 + 8 + 5)/12

= 21/12

= 7/4 kg

Grocery:

Sugar = 2 × 4/3 = 8/3 kg

Rice = 3 × 3/4 = 9/4 kg

Total grocery weight = 8/3 + 9/4

= (32 + 27)/12

= 59/12 kg

Total weight = Meat weight + Grocery weight

= 7/4 + 59/12

= (21 + 59)/12

= 80/12

= 20/3 kg
