Answer:Weight of wood part of the sculpture (no decimals) =4kg

Explanation:

Weight of sculpture containing metal and wood = 14.9 kg

weight of metal =3/4 x 14.9 kg =11.175kg

weight of wood =Entire sculpture − weight of metal

= 14.9 kg−11.175kg

=3.725kg

Rounding up to remove decimals we have that Weight of wood part =4kg
