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

In an automobile parts factory, for every 175 carburetors 3 are found to be defective. At that rate how many carbureatots out of

Furkat [3]

Answer:

At the same rate 18 carburetors out of 1,050 could be expected to be detective.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of carburetors tested = 175

Defective pieces out o f 175 = 3

So, ratio of defected to tested = 3 : 175

Now, the number of carburetors tested in second batch = 1,050

Here, let the defective pieces = m

So, by the Ratio of Proportion,

$\frac{3}{175} = \frac{m}{1050}$

or, $m = \frac{1050 \times 3}{175} = 18$

⇒ m = 18

Hence, at the same rate 18 carburetors out of 1,050 could be expected to be detective.

Determine the quadrant when the terminal side of the angle lies according to the following conditions: cos (t) < 0, csc (t) &

Bess [88]

Answer:

The angle is in the second quadrant.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cosecant of an angle is the same as the reciprocal of the sine of that angle. In other words, as long as $\sin (t) \ne 0$ ,

$\displaystyle \csc t = \frac{1}{\sin t}$ .

Therefore, $\csc(t) > 0$ is equivalent to $\sin (t) > 0$ .

Consider a unit circle centered at the origin. If the terminal side of angle $t$ intersects the unit circle at point $(x,\, y)$ , then

$\cos (t) = x$ , and
$\sin(t) = y$ .

For angle $t$ ,

$x = \cos(t) < 0$ , meaning that the intersection is to the left of the $y$ -axis.
$y = \sin(t) > 0$ , meaning that the intersection is above the $x$ -axis.
