assuming the question is stating he picked 1 and 3/4 bushels from his kitchen garden then the answer is 16 whole bushels or 16.8
2.5 divided by 2 equals 1.25 so each side equals 1.25
Answer:
There are no solutions
Step-by-step explanation:
Because the lines are parallel, they will never meet, meaning there are no solutions to this system of equations
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Keira = K
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Larry = L
Number of apples in pounds picked up by Gita = G
Total number of apples they picked all together in pounds = 8360
Now from the given question, we know
Number of apples picked up by Kiera = 2L
So
K = 2L
L = K/2
Again Kiera picked up 3 times as many apples as Gita picked.
So,
K = 3G
G = K/3
Now if we add all the apples in pounds picked up by the three of them.
Then
K + L + G = 8360
K + (K/2) + K/3) = 8360
(6K + 3K + 2K)/6 = 8360
11K/6 = 8360
11K = 8360 * 6
11K = 50160
K = 4560
Then
L = K/2
= 4560/2
= 2280
G = K/3
= 4560/3
= 1520
Now we can say that
Kiera picked 4560 pounds of apple
Larry picked 2280 pounds of apple
Gita picked 1520 pounds of apple
