A pineapple is 7 time as heavy as an orange. The pineapple also weighs 870 grams more than the orange

A. What is the total weight in gram of the pineapple and orange?

B. Express the total weight of the pineapple and orange into kilograms

Respuesta :

Answer:

1160 g, 1.16 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

p = 7o

p = o + 870

Plugging in 70 for p, we get:

7o = o + 870

6o = 870

o = 145

Now plugging in 145 for o into the first equation, we get:

p = 7(145)

p = 1015.

The total weight of the pineapple and orange in grams is 145 + 1015 = 1160 grams.

We can divide 1160 by 1000 to get the total amount of kilograms which is equal to 1160/1000 = 1.16 kilograms.
