First of all, lets consider that you made a litte mistake and you meant this problem.........
<span>"The combined average weight of an okapi and a llama is 450 kilograms. The average weight of 3 llamas is 190 kilograms more than the average weight of one okapi. On average, how much does an okapi weigh, and how much does a llama weigh?"
This is a system of two equations.
Let it be X the average weight of a LLAMA
And Y the average weight of an OKAPI
X + Y = 450 kg 1)
3X = 190 kg +Y 2)
So, with 1) we have that Y = 450 - X
We subsitute in 2) and we have
3X = 190 + (450 -X).............We solve for X ....==> 4X = 640kg ==> X = 160kg
..We replace X in 1 and get => Y = 450kg -X = 450kg -160kg = 290kg
</span>160kg....... average weight of a LLAMA
290kg........average weight of an OKAPI
Any fraction in which the numerator's value is the same as the denominator's value will equal 1. For example:
7/7, 6/6, 500/500, etc.

<span>We know that 1 cm3 is 1 cm * 1 cm * 1 cm, so in inches:
1 cm3 = 1 inch3/2.54^3 cm3 = 1/2.54*1/2.54*1/2.54 = 1/16.387 = 0.061 inch3
Another way to solve is:
1 inch = 1 inch/2.54 cm = 0.3937 cm
Then 1 inch3 = 0.3937^3 cm = 0.061 inch3</span>
