Answer :
Answer: 320 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the mas of the teapot be denoted by a
Let the mass of the cups be denoted by c
The question can be turned into an equation which will be:
a + 4c = 1280 ......... equation i
a + 10c = 2720 ........ equation ii
Subtract equation i from ii
6c = 1440
c = 1440/6
c = 240 grams
The mas of the cup is 240 grams
From equation i
a + 4c = 1280
a + 4(240) = 1280
a + 960 = 1280
a = 1280 - 960
a = 320 grams
The mass of the teapot is 320 grams
