In a community kitchen of a Gurdwara, 65 kg of flour was purchased on one day. Out of this, 42 kg 275 g flour was used for preparing langar. The next day, an additional 52 kg 500 g of flour was bought. What is the total quantity of flour now available in the kitchen store?
Given: First day: 65 kg flour purchased, 42 kg 275 g used Second day: 52 kg 500 g flour added
Step 1: Find flour remaining after first day Flour remaining = 65 kg - 42 kg 275 g = 65,000 g - 42,275 g = 22,725 g = 22 kg 725 g
Step 2: Find total flour available Total flour = 22 kg 725 g + 52 kg 500 g = 22,725 g + 52,500 g = 75,225 g = 75 kg 225 g
Answer: The total quantity of flour now available in the kitchen store is 75 kg 225 g.
Explanation
The chapter explains addition and subtraction of weights. First day: 65 kg purchased, 42 kg 275 g used. Flour remaining after first day = 65 kg - 42 kg 275 g = 65,000 g - 42,275 g = 22,725 g = 22 kg 725 g. Second day: 52 kg 500 g added. Total flour = 22 kg 725 g + 52 kg 500 g = 22,725 g + 52,500 g = 75,225 g = 75 kg 225 g.
Solution Steps
Step 1: First day flour remaining = 65 kg - 42 kg 275 g = 65,000 g - 42,275 g = 22,725 g
Step 2: Second day flour added = 52 kg 500 g = 52,500 g
Step 3: Total flour = 22,725 g + 52,500 g = 75,225 g = 75 kg 225 g
