A peach is 7 times as heavy as an olive. The peach also weighs 930 grams more than the olive. What is the total weight in kilograms for the peach and olive? 1 g = 0.001 kg

Respuesta :

Answer:

  1.24 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of weights is ...

  peach : olive = 7 : 1

In ratio units, the difference of weights is 7-1 = 6 and the sum of weights is 7+1 = 8. Then the ratio of the sum of weights to the difference of weights is ...

  sum : difference = 8 : 6 = 4 : 3

That is, the total weight of the peach and olive is 4/3 times their difference of 0.930 kg:

  total weight = (4/3)·0.93 kg = 1.24 kg
