Ted and robin each gave a basket of green apples to their friend lily. ted's basket contains 5 apples, each weighing ounces. robin's basket contains 6 apples, each weighing ounces. whose basket is heavier and by how much?

Robin's basket is heavier by x or one apple

Explanation:

More information is reuired; the weight of the apples are not stated. However, making do with the information supplied

Let the weight of each apple be x

To get the weight of each person's basket, we multiply the number of apples by the weight of each apple. We have:

Ted's basket contains 5 apples: 5 *  x = 5x

Robin's basket contains 6 apples: 6 * x = 6x

To know whose basket is heavier, we will find the difference between Robin's basket & Ted's basket = 6x - 5x = x ⇒ one apple

This implies that Robin's basket is heavier than Ted's basket by x or one apple
