$({\rm{Average}} = \frac{{{\rm{total\;weight\;of\;all\;items}}}}{{{\rm{number\;of\;items}}}})$

The average weight of 12 apples = 0.5 kg

∴ The total weight of 12 apples = 0.5 × 12 = 6 kg

The average weight of (12 apples and 3 watermelons = 15 items) = 0.5 + 0.5 = 1 kg

∴ Total weight of 15 items = 1 × 15 = 15 kg

∴ The weight of 3 watermelons = 15 - 6 = 9 kg
