Answer:
440 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of the total weight to the weight of apples is ...
(4 + 3 + 4) : 4 = 11/4
So, the total weight will be ...
total weight = (total weight)/(apple weight) × (apple weight) = (11/4)×(160 lb)
total weight = 440 lb

Comment on the problem
The problem doesn't say what the ratio is. We have to assume it is the ratio of weights. (It could be the ratios by volume, sugar content, cost, or any of a number of other factors.)
