Answer:

1000g or 1kg

Explanation:

Michelle took 1/5 of the pizza or it would be the same as: 1*3 / 5*3

= 3 / 15 of the pizza

Ethan yook 1/3 of the pizza or it would be the same as 1*5 / 3*5 = 5/15 of the pizza

We know that Ethan's pizza taken - Michelle pizza taken = 5/15 - 3/15 = 2/15

We are given that Ethan take 200g more than michelle so 5/15 - 2/15 = 3/15 of the pizza would be 200g

The total weight of the pizza would be 15/15

Because 3/15 = 200g

15/15 = 3/15 * 5 = 200*5 = 1000g or 1kg

Hope this helped :3
