Jane, andre, and maria pick apples. andre picks three times as many pounds as maria. jane picks two times as many pounds as andre. the total weight of the apples is 840 pounds. how many pounds of apples does andre pick? show how you got the answer. you!

I would draw boxes for this. 
We don't know how many pounds Maria picked, so draw only 1 box:
[]
Andre picks 3 times as many as Maria, so 1 * 3 is :
[] [] []
Jane picks 2 times as many as Andre, so 3 * 2 is:
[] [] [] [] [] []
Count all the boxes. You'll get 10 boxes. Now, divide the total number of pounds (840) by the 10 boxes. You should get 84. Multiply 84 by 3, because Andre Andre has 3 boxes in our diagram. You'll get 252 pounds. That is the final answer.

Answer: question no. 1 -a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -b. 59°question no. 3 -c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -b. mn and qrstep-by-step explanation: question no. 1 -rs : xu = 3 : 7.5 = 2 : 5rt : x? = 6.4 : 16 = 2 : 5st : u? = 6 : 15 = 2 : 5as the ratios of all sides are equivalent, the triangles must be congruent and the sides must be proportional.therefore, the answer is: a. yes, the sides are in the ratio 2 : 5.question no. 2 -in the second diagram, angle b is the only letter not shown. therefore, the number must be equivalent to angle b.if we substitute the value of angle b as being 22° in the first diagram, we can now use the angle sum of a triangle to obtain the value of angle a.angle sum of a triangle = 180°therefore: let angle a = aa + 99 + 22 = 180a = 180 - 99 - 22a = 59°therefore, the answer is: b. 59°question no. 3 -angles x and y don't share the vertex of the triangle with the exterior angle w. remote interior angles don't share a vertex of a triangle with an exterior angle. this means that angles x and y are remote interior angles.therefore, the answer is: c. angles x and y are remote interior angles.question no. 4 -the sum of all interior angles of a triangle must be equivalent to 180°.90°, 45° and 45° are the only set of angle measures that are equivalent to 180°.therefore, the answer is: d. 90°, 45° and 45°question no. 5 -the only pair of sides stated in the options which are corresponding are mn and qr.therefore, the answer is: b. mn and qr.
