The question is: A fruit and vegetable merchant installed 15 kg of carrots, 13 kg of zucchini and 8 kg of broccoli. He sold only half of them. What mass of vegetables did he sell?
Step-by-step reasoning process: You first need to know the total weight of the vegetables, so you add each quantity: 15 + 13 + 8 = 36 kg. Then you have to find half of 36: 36 / 2 = 18 kg. So, he sold 18 kg of vegetables.
