Answer :
Vincent fried a total of 6 1/4 kilos of chicken. This was determined by adding 5 1/2 kilos and 3/4 kilos through fraction conversion. The final sum was converted back to a mixed number.
To determine the total amount of chicken Vincent fried, we need to add the two quantities he used:
Vincent fried 5 1/2 kilos of friend chicken and 3/4 kilos of chicken.
- First, convert the mixed number 5 1/2 to an improper fraction.
- 5 1/2 = 5 + 1/2 = 10/2 + 1/2 = 11/2
- Now add the two fractions together:
- 11/2 + 3/4
- To add these fractions, find a common denominator. The common denominator for 2 and 4 is 4:
- (11/2) = (11 * 2) / (2 * 2) = 22/4
- Now add the fractions:
- 22/4 + 3/4 = 25/4
- Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number:
- 25/4 = 6 1/4
Therefore, Vincent fried a total of 6 1/4 kilos of chicken.
