Tatay Nardo harvested 2 sacks of rambutan from his farm, each sack weighed 25 ¼ kilograms. For him to share his blessings during this pandemic he gave ⅓ of all the harvested rambutan to his neighbors. How many kilograms of rambutan were left to tatay Nardo?
Answer
33 2/3 kg of rambutan were left to tatay Nardo
Solution:
Since he has 2 sacks of rice, multiply the weight of each sack (25 1/4) by 2.
2 (25 1/4)
= 50 1/2 kg of rambutan
Get the 1/3 of the total weight of rambutan then subtract.
1/3 (50 1/2)
= 1/3 ( 101/2 )
= 101/6
= 16 5/6 kg. of rambutan was given to his neighbors
50 1/2 - 16 5/6
= 50 3/6 - 16 5/6
= 49 9/6 - 16 5/6
= 33 4/6
= 33 2/3 kg of rambutan were left to tatay Nardo
