Question

The relationship between the number of apples and their weight is proportional. The weight of 5 apples is 0.6kg. How many apples would you expect to weigh 1.44kg?

Answer 1

Answer:

12 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

5 apples = 0.6kg

1 apple = 0.12kg

x = 0.6kg x 2

= 1.2kg (10 apples)

y = 1.44kg - 1.2kg

= 0.24kg (2 apples)

Apples = x + y

= 10 + 2 apples

= 12 apples (weigh 1.44kg)
