A pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange. the pineapple also weight 870 grams more than orange what is the total weight in grams for the pineapple and orange

You would solve it by setting up a system of equations. P=7o and P=o+870. In the second equation, replace P with 7o and solve for o. 7o=o+870 6o=870 o=145 Plug 145 into p=7o P=1015

An orange ... o grams = ?

a pineapple ... p = 7 * o

p = 870 grams + o

If you would like to know what is the total weight in grams for the pineapple and orange, you can calculate this using the following steps:

7 * o = 870 + o

7 * o - o = 870

6 * o = 870 / 6

o = 870 / 6

o = 145 grams

p = 7 * o = 7 * 145 grams = 1015 grams

Result: A pineapple weights 1015 grams and an orange 145 grams.
