Question

An empty box weighs 13 ounces. The box is packed with large and small apples. Each large apple, I, weighs 4. 5

ounces and each small apple, s, weighs 3 ounces.

Enter an equation that can be used to determine the total weight, w, in ounces, of the loaded box containing / large

apples and s small apples.

Answer 1

W = 13 + 4.5l + 3s

Explanation:

We would have to add 13 because it's the natural weight. We don't know how many apples there are, but we know much weight is in each one. We will use the letters as the unknown. Then we will use 4.5 for L, and 3 for s
