Answer:
2 7/76 kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the weight of
Watermelons = x
Coconut = y
There are 10 2/15 kg of watermelons and coconuts on a truck.
x + y = 10 2/15
x = 10 2/15 - y
x = 152/15 - y.... Equation 1
The weight of the watermelons is 3 3/5 times that of the coconuts.
x = 3 3/5 × y
x = 18/5 × y
x = 18y/5
How heavy are the coconuts on the truck, in kg?
Find y
We substitute 18y/5 for x in Equation 1
x = 152/15 - y
18y/5 = 152/15 - y
18y /5 + y = 152/15
Multiply through by 15
18y/5 × 15 + y × 15 = 152/15 × 15
3 × 18y + 15y = 152
54y + 15y = 152
69y = 152
y = 152/69
y = 2 14/152
y = 2 7/76 kg
Therefore, the weight of the coconuts are 2 7/76 kg
Not many steps can be included
Since 42 is in parenthesis you multiply it by 7
Giving you
294
45+55=100 180-100=80 that makes y = 80, and vertical angles makes x=80
