Now that you are already familiar with the steps on how to add fractions, you can
move on studying the word problem below.

A special sack of rice is available at Sam’s store. Sam was able to sell of
2
1 1
the sack plus 2 kilograms on Monday. On Tuesday, he sold of the remaining
2 2
1 1
rice from a sack plus 2 kg. Then, sold the remaining 10 kg on Wednesday.
2 2
How many kilograms are there in a special sack of rice?
To solve the problem, you may draw a diagram or use block model to see the
relationships between the components in a problem. Illustrations or drawings can
help to visualize the problem situations.

2

26
Solving Process:
Step 1. The smallest block at the bottom of the illustration which represents the
1
portion sold on Wednesday is equal to the block just above it. So, it is 10 kg also.
2
1 1
Step 2. The combined portion of 10 and 2 is half of the illustration in the
2 2
second block.
Step 3. The second block is equal to the unshaded portion in your entire block. So
it is also equal to 26 kg.
1
Step 4. The combined portion of 26 kg and 2 kg is half of the illustration in the
2
1
entire block. The illustration below shows that the yellow colored block is of the
2
entire block.
1 1
26 + 2 = 28 is half of the entire block illustration. So, the entire block
2 2
1 1
28 + 28 is 57 kg.
2 2
Therefore, the special sack of rice is 57 kg.
