We can help, but you need to try to do the problem. Do you know how to set up the problem?
Yes. The guava is 385 grams but is it lighter or heavier than the watermelon?
If it is lighter, than the watermelon is 10 x 385. If it is heavier, than the watermelon weighs 385/10. I don't understand the wording of the question. Thank you for your help.
I guess that makes the most sense. Thank you very much for replying!
Instead of saying "ten times as light" just say "ten times the weight". If it were a division problem, hopefully the wording would be "a tenth as light"
Your answer is 38.5 pounds.
