Answer:

10.16 lb

Explanation:

This is a classic example of a problem that can be solved using dimensional analysis. To find the weight of a single shock absorber or brake pad set, you need to divide the total weight by the number of items in the box.

Weight of a single shock absorber = Total weight of shock absorbers / Number of shock absorbers in the box

= 101.6 lb / 8

= 12.7 lb

Weight of a single brake pad set = Total weight of brake pad sets / Number of brake pad sets in the box

= 101.6 lb / 10

= 10.16 lb

Therefore, a single shock absorber weighs 12.7 lb and a single brake pad set weighs 10.16 lb.
