Let X denote <span>the baby’s weight.
Let y represent </span>the doctor’s weight.
Let z stand for the nurse’s weight.
From the equations: x + y = 78 implies y = 78 - x
and x + z = 69 gives z = 69 - x
then we have x + y + z = 142
Substituting y = 78 - x and z = 69 - x into the equation x + y + z = 142
x + y + z = 142
x + 78 - x + 69 - x = 142
-x + 147 = 142
-x = -5
x = 5
Conclusion
<span>the baby’s weight was 5 kg</span>
Answer:
The correct choice is option D.
Detailed explanation:
Any fraction where m > n can be represented as a/b
where a = quotient
b = remainder.
The specified number is given as m/n.
3)4( 1 ← quotient
- 3
____
1 ← remainder
In this case, quotient= 1, remainder=1, and n=3.
