andrew buys three 5.7 pound of apples and one bag of oranges. If the total weight of the apples and oranges is 21.5 pounds. how many pounds does one bag of oranges weigh

Respuesta :

The oranges would weigh 4.4 pounds.

Explanation/ steps:

Three 5.7 pound of apples : 3 x 5.7 = 17.1 (weight of apples in the bag)

To get the weight of oranges subtract 21.5 from 17.1 ..... 21.5 - 17.1 = 4.4 (weight of oranges)
