Let's solve the problem step by step.
Let's assume the weight of beets is x kg. According to the problem, the weight of potatoes is 5 times more than beets. Therefore, the weight of potatoes is 5x kg.
The total weight of beets and potatoes is given as 360 kg. So, we can write the equation as:
x + 5x = 360
Simplifying the equation:
6x = 360
Dividing both sides by 6:
x = 60
Therefore, the weight of beets is 60 kg and the weight of potatoes is 5 times more, which is 5 * 60 = 300 kg.
