Question

hamid has three boxes of different fruits. Box A weighs 5/4 kg more than Box B and Box C weighs 41/4 kg more than Box B. The total weight of the three boxes is 195/4 kg. What is weight of box a

Answer 1

The answer is 39 kg

Explanation:

We are looking for the weight of box A so we will use the number given to use for Box A.

We also have the total which is 194/4 kg

If we divide 195 by 5 we will get 39 kg

But to check if your answer is correct also divide 195 by 41 and that will give us 4.75 kg

And if you add the two answers up your will get 43.75 kg

Now we need to find the weight of Box B to see if our answer is correct

When you subtract 43.75 from 195 you will get 151.25

When we will add 43.75 to 151.25 you will get 195

So the answer is correct, the answer is 39 Kg
