Example 3: Add 35 kg 780 g, 64 kg 85 g and 9 kg 8 g. Example 2: Add 56 L 346 mL and 71 L 465 mL.

Solution: Arrange the given measures in the kg and g columns correctly. Now, add Solution: Arrange the given measures in the two columns of L and mL and add them.
them. Step 1: Add millilitres. 346 mL + 465 mL = 811 mL L mL
Step 1: Add grams. kg g Write 811 under the mL column. 1 1 1

780 g + 85 g + 8 g = 873 g 1 1 1 5 6 3 4 6

Write 873 under the g column. 3 5 7 8 0 Step 2: Add litres. 56 L + 71 L = 127 L + 7 1 4 6 5
Step 2: Add kilograms. 6 4 0 8 5 Write 127 under the L column. 1 2 7 8 1 1

35 kg + 64 kg + 9 kg = 108 kg + 9 0 0 8 Thus, 56 L 346 mL + 71 L 465 mL = 127 L 811 mL
Write 108 under the kg column. 1 0 8 8 7 3 Example 3: Find the sum of 72 L 360 mL and 64 L 950 mL.

Thus, 35 kg 780 g + 64 kg 85 g + 9 kg 8 g = 108 kg 873 g Solution: Step 1: Add millilitres and convert the sum into litres and millilitres.

360 + 950 = 1310 mL = 1000 mL + 310 mL
