Answer: equation is w = 24.5/G + 1

Explanation: It is given that the weight of each orange is same amount the weight of crate.
Hence, weight of 1 orange is w lb
⇒ weight of G oranges is Gw lb
Total weight of crate filled with G oranges is 24.5 lb
⇒ weight of G oranges + weight of crate = 24.5
⇒ Gw+w=24.5 ⇒ (G+1)w=24.5
