Riya went to the market with her mother in Mumbai.
- She bought ½ kg of tomatoes.
- She also bought ¼ kg of onions.
- For making chutney, they bought ¾ kg of fresh coriander leaves.
- On the way back, Riya ate ⅓ kg of the guavas they had bought earlier (the guavas were ⅔ kg in total before eating).
Questions:
a) How much vegetables (tomatoes + onions + coriander) did they buy in all? Give your answer as a mixed number.
b) What fraction of the guavas did Riya eat?
c) How many kilograms of guavas are left now?
d) Altogether, how much weight (in kg) of the items above did they carry home after Riya ate the guavas? (Add the vegetables + remaining guavas.)
Bonus (slightly challenging – good for advanced Grade 4 students):
If each bag they used can hold up to 2 kg, how many such bags did they need to carry everything home?
Solve step-by-step. Show your addition working clearly (find common denominators when needed). Draw simple diagrams (like fraction bars or circles) if it helps you!
