Let's say that the weight of the orange is x and the weight of the pineapple is y.
The weight of the pineapple is 7 times that of the orange, so
y = 7x.
Also, y = x + 870.
Therefore, 7x = x + 870.
If we take away x from both sides, we get 6x = 870
If we divide both sides by 6, we get x = 145.
Therefore, the weight of the orange is 145 g.
Also, 145 + 870 = 1015.
So the weight of the pineapple is 1015 g.

To convert grams into kilograms, they must be divided by 1000.
Therefore, the weight of the orange in kilograms is 145/1000 = 0.145 kg
And the weight of the pineapple is 1015/1000 = 1.015 kg.

Answers:
a. 145g for the orange and 1015g for the pineapple.
b. 0.145kg for the orange and 1.015kg for the pineapple.

The total weight of pineapple and an orange is 1,160 g or 1.16 kg

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

From the math word problem above we can get some information and create some equations. Let's say

A pineapple = x

An orange = y

\boxed {x = 7y\ }\\ \boxed {x = 870 g + y }

From those equation we can find the value of variable y

\boxed {7y = 870 + y }\\ \boxed {7y-y = 870 }\\ \boxed {6y = 870 }\\ \boxed {y=145 }

After we get the variable y, the next step will be calculate the variable x by substitute y into one of the above equation :

\boxed {x = 7y }\\ \boxed {x= 7 \times\ 145 }\\ \boxed {x=1015 }

so, the a pineapple weights is 1015 g, and an orange weights is 145 g

Let's answer the question!

a. The total weight for a pineapple and an orange in g:

\boxed {1015 g + 145 g = 1160 g }

b. The total weight for a pineapple and an orange in kg:

We need to convert the total weight from g to kg

\boxed {1 kg = 1000 g }\\ \boxed {1 g= \frac{ 1 }{1000} kg }\\ \boxed {1160 g = ..... kg? }\\ \boxed {= \frac{1160 g}{1000} }\\ \boxed {=1.16 kg} }

In doing conversion there are 3 easy three steps to follow:

  • write the conversion in fraction
  • multiply/divide
  • cancel any units that are both on the top and bottom

A train has 6 identical passenger cars that are each 18 m long.
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

59m

Step-by-step explanation:

No of passenger cars in the train = 6

length of each passenger cars = 18m

total length of 6 passenger cars = 18 * 6 = 108 m

length of caboose = 10m

total length of train when caboose is included = 108 m + 10 m = 118m

_____________________________________________

Let the length of truck be X m

given that length of train is twice of length of truck = 2*X

but length of train as found above is 118 m

this implies

2X = 118

X = 118/2 = 59m

Therefore length of truck is 59m

The area of rectangular garden is 8 x^{2}+4 x-24

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that a rectangular garden has width = 4x - 6

Length of rectangular garden = 2x + 4

To find: area of rectangular garden

<em><u>The area of rectangle is given as:</u></em>

\text {area of rectangle }=\text { length } \times \text { width }

Substituting the values in given formula,

\begin{array}{l}{\text { area of rectangle }=(2x+4) \times(4x-6)} \\\\ {=8 x^{2}-12 x+16 x-24} \\\\ {=8 x^{2}+4 x-24}\end{array}

Thus the area of rectangular garden is 8 x^{2}+4 x-24
