Question

The weight of meteorite A is 5 times the weight of meteorite B. If the sum of their weights is 126 tons, find the weight of each.

Answer 1

Explanation:

if you divide 126 by 5, you get Meteorite B, 25.2, then minus that from 132, and you get Meteorite A, 106.8

To check, do 25.2 x 5 and you should get 132.
