Data:

M (mango)
A (apple)

We have:
1M = 36 ounces
3M + 1A = 5A

Replace and solving:

[tex]3M + 1A = 5A[/tex]
[tex] 3.(36) + 1A = 5A[/tex]
[tex]108 + 1A = 5A[/tex]
[tex]108 = 5A - 1A[/tex]
[tex]108 = 4A[/tex]
[tex]4A = 108[/tex]
[tex]A = \frac{108}{4} [/tex]
[tex]\boxed{A = 27}[/tex]

Answer:
Aple weigh 27 ounces
