Answer: Robin's basket is heavier by x or one apple
Explanation:
More information is reuired; the weight of the apples are not stated. However, making do with the information supplied
Let the weight of each apple be x
To get the weight of each person's basket, we multiply the number of apples by the weight of each apple. We have:
Ted's basket contains 5 apples: 5 * x = 5x
Robin's basket contains 6 apples: 6 * x = 6x
To know whose basket is heavier, we will find the difference between Robin's basket & Ted's basket = 6x - 5x = x ⇒ one apple
This implies that Robin's basket is heavier than Ted's basket by x or one apple
