Answer 1

Answer:

10.54 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Half of blueberries is served with breakfast

The remaining 5270g is served with dinner

How many kilograms of blueberries did the science camp start with :

Total grams of blue berries :

(Grams served at breakfast + grams served at dinner)

Let total blueberries = x

x/2 + 5270 = x

(x + 10540) /2 = x

x + 10540 = 2x

10540 = 2x - x

x = 10540 grams

Amount of kilograms science camp started with = (10540) / 1000 = 10.54 kg
