Answer 2

Answer:

(a) weight of the empty basket is 0.8 kg or 800 grams.

(b) weight of the basket with 18 apples is 7.1 kg or 7 kg 100 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of a basket with 60 apples = 21 kg 800 g. = 21.8 kg

weight of the basket with 8 apples = 3 kg 600 g = 3.6 kg

Since weight of (60-8) 52 apples = 21.8 - 3.6 = 18.2 kg

Therefore, weight of 1 apple = $\frac{18.2}{52}$  = 0.35 kg

(a) Weight of the empty basket = 21.8 - (0.35 × 60)

                                                    = 21.8 - 21

                                                    = 0.8 kg

weight of the empty basket is 0.8 kg or 800 grams.

(b) weight of the basket with 18 apples = 0.8 + (0.35 × 18)

                                                                = 0.8 + 6.3

                                                                = 7.1 kg

weight of the basket with 18 apples is 7.1 kg or 7 kg 100 grams.
