Answer: 27 kg.
Explanation:
To simplify, let’s write the pictorial equation in text form
let’s assume the following;
the dog’s weight be d;
the cat’s weight be c &
the rabbit’s weight be r
From the given information we can write the following equations;
c +d = 24
c + r = 10
d + r = 20
We have to find the addition of the weights of all the three animals.
Let’s add the above 3 equations;
c +d = 24
c + r = 10
d + r = 20
2c + 2d +2r = 54
We can solve the above equation as follows;
2 (c + d + r) = 54
Therefore;
c + d + r = 54/2 = 27
So the addition of the weights of all the 3 animals is c + d + r = 27 kg.
