In this question weight of a flea and an ant is given, but their units are different. So comparing and finding out the weight of flea and ant would be difficult. First thing that needs to be done is to bring the units of both the flea and the ant under same unit.
Weight of flea = 8 decigrams
Weight of ant = 3 milligrams.
Now let us convert the weight of the flea from decigrams to milligrams.
We already know that
1 decigram = 100 milligram
Then
8 decigrams = 100 * 8 milligrams
= 800 milligrams
Then
The weight by which the flea is greater than the ant = (800 - 3) milligrams
= 797 milligrams.
So the flea weighs 797 milligrams more than the ant.

Answer:
The numbers are 18 and 91
Step-by-step explanation:
You can translate the information to two equations:
<em>a value 5 times a smaller number is 1 less than a larger number</em>
5a = b - 1
<em>their difference is 73</em>
b - a = 73
Then you should merge one equation into the other, thereby eliminating one variable. You can do this any way you want. I choose to rewrite the first equation as:
b = 5a + 1
Now I can write 5a+1 in the second equation at the place where b was:
5a + 1 - a = 73
It is now an equation with only one variable, solve by simplifying
4a = 72
a = 18
Now b can be found using b = 5a + 1
b = 91
