Question

If 3 pineapples equal one strawberry, and 1 strawberry times 1 equals 1 grape and then 2 grapes equal 24 and 1 watermelon plus 1 pineapple equals 6 what does 1 grape plus one strawberry plus one watermelon equal?

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

Answer 2

26

Explanation:

Let pineapple be P.

Let Strawberry be S.

Let Grape be G.

Let Watermelon be W.

3 pineapples equal 1 strawberry:

3P = S ____________ (1)

1 strawberry times 1 equals 1 grape:

S * 1 = G

S = G_____________(2)

2 grapes equal 24:

2G = 24

=> G = 24 / 2 = 12

=> From (2), S = 12

1 watermelon plus 1 pineapple equals 6:

W + P = 6_________________ (3)

From (1):

P = S / 3 = 12 / 3 = 4

Putting this in (3):

W + 4 = 6

=> W = 6 - 4 = 2

1 grape plus 1 strawberry plus 1 watermelon will be:

G + S + W

= 12 + 12 + 2

= 26

The answer is 26.
