What do you usually
do with the empty
plastic bottles at
home?
•
What other things can
be recycled?
 The Supreme Pupil Government (SPG) of
Bussing School was able to collect 2/4 kg of
plastic bottles and ¼ kg of disposable spoons
and forks for their project Pera Mula sa
Basura. How many kilograms of items did
the pupils collect in all? How many
kilograms more of plastic bottles than
disposable spoons and forks were collected?

We drew regions to show2 and 1 . Then, we
combined the regions. 4 4

We added the numerators of the fractions, then wrote
the sum as a fraction using the common denominator.

For question 2: 2
We used fraction charts4 for and then,
