Calculating with measures Let’s Learn Together
A basket contains 750 g of oranges, 1 __ 4
kg of bananas and 1.2 kg of mangoes.
What is the total mass of fruits in the basket? To calculate with measurements, first convert to the same units. 1 __ 4 kg = 250g 1.2 kg = 1200 kg We can represent the problem using a bar model:
750 g
250 g
1 200 g
?
The total mass is 750 + 250 + 1200 g = 2200 g.
