Solve the following word problems.

a) A farmer produces 285 bags of wheat, 236 bags of pulses, and 409 bags of rice.
Find the total number of bags of grains.

The total number of bags of grains produced by the farmer is 930 bags, calculated by adding the bags of wheat, pulses, and rice together. This was done step-by-step, first adding wheat and pulses, and then adding rice to that total. Therefore, 285 + 236 + 409 equals 930.

To solve this word problem, we need to find the total number of bags of grains produced by the farmer. The problem gives us the quantity of each type of grain produced:

Wheat : 285 bags
Pulses : 236 bags
Rice : 409 bags

To find the total number of bags, we simply need to add these quantities together. Here's how we can do it step-by-step:

Start with the bags of wheat: 285
Add the bags of pulses: 285 + 236 = 521
Finally, add the bags of rice to the total: 521 + 409 = 930

So, the total number of bags of grains is 930 .
The calculation can be broken down as follows:
285 + 236 + 409 = 930
Therefore, the farmer produces a total of 930 bags of grains. This step-by-step approach ensures that each category of grain is counted accurately and helps in understanding the arithmetic involved.
