Question

Answer 1

440 lbs

Explanation:

4:3:4

If the apples (four) are 160 pounds, then one unit is 40 pounds. There are eleven such units, and 40 times 11 is 440.

Btw, you should ask your friends or family for help before coming here. This sounds like sixth or seventh grade math, and in those grades, I asked my friends for help, and then when I wanted conformation, then I went online

just a suggestion :)

Answer 2

440 pounds

Explanation:

Ratio = 4 : 3 : 4

Weight of apples, grapes and blackberries are 4x , 3x , 4x respectively

Weight of apples = 160 pounds

4x = 160 {Divide both sides by 4}

4x/4 = 160/4

x = 40

Weight of apples = 160 pounds

Weight of grapes = 3x = 3* 40 = 120 pounds

Weight of blackberries = 4x = 4 * 4 = 160 pounds

Weight of all the fruits = 160 + 120 + 160 = 440 pounds
