Tina is three quarters of Tom's weight. If their total combined weight is 300 lbs (pounds), approximately how much must each of
them weigh? Give your answers in pounds (lbs), rounded to one decimal place.
tom's weigth : x
tina's weight : 3/4 x
x + 3/4 x = 300
times 4
4x + 3x = 1200
7x = 1200
x = 171 3/7
Tom weights 171 3/7 or appr 171.4 lbs
Tina weighs 128 4/7 or 128.6 lbs , notice the total is 300
and as usual the bot is wrong for most math questions.
bot's answers do add up to 300 , but 75 is NOT 3/4 of 225.
Tom: 225.0 lbs
Tina: 75.0 lbs
