If the school bags of Garima and Nakul weigh 5.2 kg and 4.832 kg respectively, find

(i) the total weight

(ii) the difference in weight of the bags

Converting the given decimals into like decimals having three decimal places, we get 5.200 kg and 4.832 kg.

(i) The total weight = 5.200 + 4.832

Writing in column form and adding:

$\begin{array}{r} \phantom{+}5.200 \ +\space 4.832 \ \hline 10.032 \end{array}$

Hence, the total weight of the bags is 10.032 kg.

(ii) The difference in weight = 5.200 - 4.832

Writing in column form and subtracting:

$\begin{array}{r} \phantom{+}5.200 \ -\space 4.832 \ \hline 0.368 \end{array}$

Hence, the difference in weight of the bags is 0.368 kg.
