Answer:

3.5kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let original weight  of grapes in box be X and weight of grapes in basket be Y.

From the first sentence
X = 2Y  (weight in box = 2 times weight in basket)   --- (1)

If you add 2kg of grapes to basket, the weight of grapes in basket = Y + 2

From the second statement

Y + 2 = X + 0.5

Subtracting Y from the LHS gives 2 = X - Y + 0.5

Subtracting 0.5 from both sides gives 2-0.5 = X - Y or X - Y = 1.5  --- (2)

Substituting for X from the first equation in (2) we get
2Y - Y = 1.5 or Y = 1.5kg

But this is the original weight of the grapes in the basket. Since we have added 2 kg of grapes to the original weight, we get the weight of grapes in basket now as 1.5 + 2.0 = 3.5kg

How does using a bar diagram help you in predicting the solution to ratio and rate problems?
jeka94
Bar graph display directly the varibales which are the rate and ratio of the numbers to visualize and display the results, these contrasting the different outcomes. On the contrary, histogram is used in grouped frequency parameters. Moreover, as little as the given five parameters or data set this will be ineffective and will result to a bar graph only and basically, the suited option is the aforementioned vertical graph to display the numbers. To expound on the definition of histogram it is used when the frequency is grouped. For example the data set of 1-5, 6-10, 11-15 and 16-20 this now can be used and applied to illustrate histogram because of the number and quantity of the given data.<span>
