Buzz is three times as heavy as Jessie .If Buzz is 450g heavier than Jessie ,what is the weight of Buzz in grams?
Let's call Jessie's weight "J" in grams.
According to the problem, Buzz is three times as heavy as Jessie, so his weight would be:
B = 3J
We also know that Buzz is 450g heavier than Jessie, so we can set up the equation:
B = J + 450
Now we can substitute the first equation into the second equation:
3J = J + 450
Subtracting J from both sides:
2J = 450
Dividing both sides by 2:
J = 225
So Jessie weighs 225g.
To find out Buzz's weight, we can plug J = 225 into our first equation:
B = 3J = 3(225) = 675
Therefore, Buzz weighs 675g.
675grams
Yes, that's correct! Buzz weighs 675 grams.
To find the weight of Buzz, we need to determine Jessie's weight first, and then multiply it by 3 since Buzz is three times as heavy as Jessie.
Let's call Jessie's weight "J" in grams. According to the information given, Buzz is 450g heavier than Jessie, so Buzz's weight can be represented as:
Buzz's weight = Jessie's weight + 450g
Since Buzz is three times as heavy as Jessie, we can also express this relationship as:
Buzz's weight = 3 * Jessie's weight
Now we can equate the two expressions for Buzz's weight:
3 * Jessie's weight = Jessie's weight + 450g
Next, we solve this equation to find Jessie's weight:
2 * Jessie's weight = 450g
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2 gives us:
Jessie's weight = 450g / 2 = 225g
Now that we know Jessie's weight is 225g, we can find Buzz's weight by multiplying it by 3:
Buzz's weight = 3 * Jessie's weight = 3 * 225g = 675g
Therefore, Buzz's weight is 675 grams.
