Answer (1)
Answer:Marjorie weighs 57 13/15 kg.Step-by-step explanation:Convert mixed numbers to fractions: - 3 1/5 = (3 * 5 + 1) / 5 = 16/5- 54 2/3 = (54 * 3 + 2) / 3 = 164/3 2. Find the difference: - Marjorie's weight - Cindy's weight = 16/5 kg- Marjorie's weight = Cindy's weight + 16/5 kg- Marjorie's weight = 164/3 + 16/5 kg 3. Find a common denominator: - The least common denominator for 3 and 5 is 15.- 164/3 * 5/5 = 820/15- 16/5 * 3/3 = 48/15 4. Add the fractions: - Marjorie's weight = 820/15 + 48/15 = 868/15 kg 5. Convert back to a mixed number: - 868/15 = 57 13/15 kg
