Melon one is 16 kilograms and 4 times heavier than melon three. Melons one and two together are 7 times heavier than melon three. Find the weight of each melon.

Respuesta :

Water melon is 16 kg

Watermelon2 (16+x)=7(4). 16+x=28. X= 28-16=12

Watermelon3 16/4 = 4

Answer: The weight of first melon = 16 kg.

The weight of second melon = 12 kg

The weight of third melon = 4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Weight of melon one = 16 kg

According to question, we have given that Melon 1 is 4 times heavier than melon 3.

so, Weight of melon 3 is given by

[tex]4x=16\\\\x=\frac{16}{4}\\\\x=4\ kg[/tex]

According to question, Melon 1 and melon 2 together are 7 times heavier than melon three.

So, it becomes

[tex]16+y=7\times 4\\\\16+y=28\\\\y=28-16\\\\y=12\ kg[/tex]

Hence, the weight of first melon = 16 kg.

The weight of second melon = 12 kg

The weight of third melon = 4 kg.
