16:29:15 I think that would be it but, I'm really sorry if that's not right
9 2/3 total ounces is a total split up among 6 fruits.
So we need to divide 9 2/3 among the 6 fruits.
= 9 2/3 divide 6
= change 9 2 / 3 in improper fraction
= 9*3 + 2/3
= 29/3 divided by 6/1
= 29/3 x 1/6
= 29/18, change that to mixed fractions.
The answer is 1 11/18 ounces of each fruit.
You would need to isolate the "X" variable because it is common in all 3 equations.
X = y + 3
2x + y = 9
Solution..
---------------
Substitute for x=y+3 in the second equation...
2x+y = 9
2(y+3)+y=9
2y+6+y=9
3y+6=9
3y=9-6
3y=3
y=3/3
y=1....
Substitute for y=1 in the first equation...
x=y+3
x = 1+3
x=4..
Am sure the answer is quite evident now...
