Question

Martha weighs 28.5 lb. Martha's weight is 2.5 times

the weight of Tucker. Tucker weighs 1.5 lb more than

Sunny. How much is sunny weight and write an equation to represent the situation?

Answer 1

sunny's weight = 69.75lbs

Explanation:

matha = 28.5

tucker = 2.5(28.5)

sunny = tucker -1.5

lets assume tucker weighs x and sunny weighs y.

y= x - 1.5.

x= 2.5 * 28.5 = 71.25

y= 71.25 - 1.5 = 69.75
