• Out of total 3 kg, 1/2 kg she gave to neighbours. So she gave 3*(0.5) = 1.5 kg to neighbours and left with 1.5 kg.
  From total of 3 kg again she used 1/3 for cooking so which comes to 3*(0.333)=1 kg.
  Now she is left with 3-(1.5+1)=0.5 kg

• total potatoes= 3 kg
  Potatoes given to neighbour =1/2 of (3)kg=1.5 kg
  potatoes left behind=1.5 kg
  potatoes used for cooking = 1/3 of (1.5)kg = 0.5 kg
  remaining potatoes= 1kg

  left=3-1.5=1.5 kg
  1.5/3 used for cooking=0.5 kg
  left=1.5-0.5=1 kg
  remaining=1 kg
