A beaker starts with 4/10 kg of flour to make bread. He adds 3/100 kg of flour to his bread mixture how much total flour is used to make the bread.

Answer 1

To find the total amount of flour used to make the bread, you need to add the initial amount of flour to the additional amount of flour added.

The initial amount of flour is \( \frac{4}{10} \) kg and the additional amount is \( \frac{3}{100} \) kg.

First, convert \( \frac{4}{10} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 100:

\[ \frac{4}{10} = \frac{4 \times 10}{10 \times 10} = \frac{40}{100} \]

Now add \( \frac{40}{100} \) kg and \( \frac{3}{100} \) kg:

\[ \frac{40}{100} + \frac{3}{100} = \frac{40 + 3}{100} = \frac{43}{100} \]

Thus, the total amount of flour used to make the bread is \( \frac{43}{100} \) kg.
