We need to find how much 5 oranges weighs by multiplying 80 by 5.

80x5=400

So 5 oranges weighs 400 grams. We also need to find the weight of one grapefruit. Since 5 oranges, or 400 grams, weigh the same as 2 grapefruits, we need to divide 400 by 2.

400/2=200

So each grapefruit weighs 200 grams.

hope it helps
