Question

A box contains 25 packets each weighing 9 kg 340g. Find the total weight, if the box weighs 480g.

Answer 1

233.98 kg or 233 kg and 980 g

Explanation:

First, I'd convert all the units to be the same and write out all the values that are given.

1 packet = 9 kg 340g = 9.34 kg

box = 480 g = .48 kg

Since you have 25 packets, you have to add 9.34 to itself 25 times, or multiply it by 25.

total packet weight = 9.34 kg x 25

= 233.5 kg

Then, add together all the packets and the box.

Total weight = 233.5 kg + 0.48 kg

= 233.98 kg

or 233 kg and 980 g

I hope this helps!
