Step-by-step explanation:

Oranges = 64/9 kg

Oranges = 64/9 kgpineapple = 41/5

Oranges = 64/9 kgpineapple = 41/5melons = ?(x)

Oranges = 64/9 kgpineapple = 41/5melons = ?(x)Total weight= 115/3kg

Total weight=oranges+melons+pineapple

115/3=64/9+41/5+x

115/3 = 689/45 + x [by LCM]

115/3-689/45= x

1036/45= x
