Answer 1

Find out the What is the total weight of the items already packed .

To prove

As given

The luggage allowance on the flight is 20 kg per person.

The list of the weights of some items already packed in one of the suitcases.

`Toothbrush - 95 g\ ,Toiletries - 1.4 kg\ ,Shoes = 3(1)/(8)\ ,Beach towel - 0.6 kg`

Clothes - 8580 g

`As\ 1g=(1)/(1000)\ kg`

Now convert 95 g

`95g=(95)/(1000)\ kg`

= 0.095 kg

Thus Toothbrush weight = 0.095 kg

Now convert 8580 g

`8580g=(8580)/(1000)\ kg`

= 8.58 kg

Thus clothes weight = 8.58 kg

Now

`Shoes\ weight = 3 (1)/(8)\ kg`

`Shoes\ weight=(25)/(8)\ kg`

Shoes weight = 3.125 kg (approx)

Thus

Total weight of the items = Toothbrush weight + clothes weight + Toiletries weight + Beach towel weight + Shoes weight

= 0.095 kg + 8.58 kg + 1.4 kg + 0.6 kg + 3.125kg

= 13.8 kg

Therefore the total weight of the items already packed is 13.8 kg .
