Q1. A bag of rice weighs 4 kg 500 g. Another bag weighs 3 kg 750 g. What is the total weight?
Solution:
Rice bag = 4 kg 500 g
Another bag = 3 kg 750 g
Add = 4 kg 500 g + 3 kg 750 g = 8 kg 250 g
The total weight is 8 kg 250 g.

Q2. A can contains 6 L 250 ml of oil. Another can contains 3 L 750 ml of oil. Find the total oil.
Solution:
Can 1 = 6 L 250 ml
Can 2 = 3 L 750 ml
Add = 6 L 250 ml + 3 L 750 ml = 10 L
So, total oil = 10 L.

Q3. A sack of wheat weighs 20 kg. If 7 kg 600 g is used, how much wheat is left?
Solution:
Wheat = 20 kg
Used = 7 kg 600 g
Remaining = 20 – 7.6 = 12.4 kg = 12 kg 400 g
So, left wheat = 12 kg 400 g.

Q4. A container has 15 L of juice. If 8 L 250 ml is taken out, how much is left?
Solution:
Total = 15 L
Used = 8 L 250 ml
Remaining = 15 – 8 L 250 ml = 6 L 750 ml
So, juice left = 6 L 750 ml.

Q5. A packet of biscuits weighs 500 g. What is the total weight of 12 packets?
Solution:
One packet = 500 g
12 packets = 500 × 12 = 6000 g = 6 kg
So, total = 6 kg.

Q6. A bottle holds 2 L of water. What is the total water in 25 bottles?
Solution:
One bottle = 2 L
25 bottles = 2 × 25 = 50 L
So, total water = 50 L.

Q7. A sack of sugar weighs 72 kg. If it is divided into 12 equal parts, what is the weight of each part?
Solution:
Total = 72 kg
Parts = 12
Each = 72 ÷ 12 = 6 kg
So, each part = 6 kg.

Q8. A barrel has 54 L of oil. If the oil is filled into 9 equal cans, how much oil is in each can?
Solution:
Total oil = 54 L
Cans = 9
Each can = 54 ÷ 9 = 6 L
So, each can has 6 L.

Q9. A box of mangoes weighs 8 kg 200 g. Another box weighs 6 kg 750 g. How heavy are both boxes together?
Solution:
Box 1 = 8 kg 200 g
Box 2 = 6 kg 750 g
Add = 8 kg 200 g + 6 kg 750 g = 14 kg 950 g
So, together = 14 kg 950 g.

Q10. A jug contains 5 L of milk. If 3 L 400 ml is poured out, how much milk remains?
Solution:
Jug = 5 L
Used = 3 L 400 ml
Remaining = 5 – 3 L 400 ml = 1 L 600 ml
So, milk left = 1 L 600 ml.

Q11. A watermelon weighs 2 kg 500 g. What is the total weight of 18 watermelons?
Solution:
One watermelon = 2.5 kg
18 watermelons = 2.5 × 18 = 45 kg
So, total = 45 kg.

Q12. A tank has 96 L of water. If the water is shared equally into 8 drums, how much water does each drum get?
