There are 5 red cherries and 10 yellow cherries on a plate. If the average weight of red cherries is 2 oz and the average weight of the yellow cherries is 3 1/2 oz, what is the average weigh of all cherries on the plate?

Respuesta :

Answer:

45oz

Step-by-step explanation:

5x2=10

10x3.5=35

35+10=45oz

Answer:

3 oz.

Step-by-step explanation:

Average weight = total weight / number of cherries

Weight of red cherries =  5*2 = 10 oz.

Weight of yellow ones =  10* 3 1/2 =  35oz.

So the answer is  (10 + 35) / 15 = 45/15

= 3 oz.
