Answer:

11 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose, weight of the banana with the​ peel is x ounce.

x-11x/12

As the banana peel weighs  1/12 of the total weight of a banana, so the weight of the peel  1/12 ounce and the weight of a peeled banana11/12 ounce

12/12 ounce= weight 11 ounces

Answer 2

Answer:

11 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Unpeeled = X

Peeled = (1 - 1/12)X = (11/12)X

X = (11/12)X + (11/12)

X - (11/12)X = 11/12

(1/12)X = 11/12

X = 11 ounces
