Question

Dorris has 3 books weighing 2 kilograms each and one container weighing 4 kilograms in a box. How much does the box weigh in kilograms?

Answer 1

The weight of a box is 10 kg.

Explanation:

Weight of each book is 2 kg

So, the weight of 3 books is 6 kg.

Weight of a container is 4 kg

3 books and one container is in a box. We need to find the weight of the box.

It is equal to the sum of weights of 3 books and one container. So,

Total weight = 6 kg + 4 kg

W = 10 kg

So, the weight of a box is 10 kg.
