Question

Katia bought two melons. She says the difference in mass between the melons is 5,000 grams. Which two melons did Katia buy?

Answer 1

5000g and 1000g .is it write

Answer 2

Answer:

Mass of smaller melon = x

Mass of larger melon = x + 5,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

No of melons bought by Katia = 2

Difference between mass of melons = 5,000 grams

The above statement simply imply that that the mass of 1 melon is 5,000 grams greater than other melon. So, if the mass of smaller melon is x grams then the mass of larger melon would be x + 5,000 grams.

Lets say if the mass of smaller melon is 10, 000 grams then the mass our larger melon would be 15,000 grams.

So, any two options having difference of 5,000 are correct answers.

But our general answer would be

Mass of smaller melon = x

Mass of larger melon = x + 5,000
