2. The empty box weighs 7.5kg

3. The average weight of orange is 75g

To find:

How many oranges are there in the box

We know that,

1 kg = 1000 g

Change the kg into gram

A box containing oranges weighs 60 kg

==> 60 kg =60000 g

The empty box weighs 7.5kg

==> 7.5 kg = 7500 g

To find the Total weight of orange,

==> 60000 g - 7500 g = 52500 g

Average weight of an orange is 75g

Oranges are there in the box = 52500 g/75g
