Question

At Sam's camp the kitchen serves half of their berries with breakfast after dinner they put the remaining 5270 of the berries on top of their ice cream dessert

Answer 1

Total blueberries the science camp start with = 10.54 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - At Science camp the kitchen serves half of their berries with breakfast after dinner they put the remaining 5270 of the berries on top of their ice cream dessert.

To find - How many kg of blueberries did the science camp start with?

Proof -

Let

Total berries in the kitchen in the start = x

Now,

Given that, they used half of the berries

⇒Total used berries =
`(1)/(2) x`

Now,

Given that, The remaining berries = 5270

⇒Total berries - used berries = Remaining berries

⇒x -
`(1)/(2) x` = 5270

⇒
`(2x - x)/(2) = 5270`

⇒
`(x)/(2) = 5270`

⇒x = 2 × 5270

⇒x = 10540 g

Now,

We know that

1 kg = 1000 g

⇒1000 g = 1 kg

⇒1 g =
`(1)/(1000) kg`

⇒10540 g = 10540 ×
`(1)/(1000) kg`

= 10.54 kg

⇒10540 g = 10.54 kg

∴ we get

Total blueberries the science camp start with = 10.54 kg
