Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Box with 16 identical (assuming in terms of weight) books weighs 17 kg.

Weight of box = 552 g

Weight of 16 Books = 17 kg — 552 g.

First convert the units.

17 kg = 17000g / 552 g = 30.7 kg

Weight of 16 Books = 17000 g — 552g

= 16,448 g

So Average Weight of one book = Total Weight ÷ Number of Books

= 16,448 g / 16

1028 g or 1.028 kg
