Question

A box contains 6 rocks of same weight of 32 kg 60 g .If the weight of each rock is 5 kg 200 g .Find the weight of the empty box

Answer 1

Here is your answer friend: :)

Converting the weight of one rock in grams: we know that 1 kg equals to 1000gram so 5X1000+200=5200

therefore, weight of one rock in grams is=5200 gram

therefore, box contains 6 rocks of same weight. then

5200x6=31200

therefore weight of 6 rocks in the box in grams is 31200 grams

converting the the weight of box+rock in grams: 32x1000+60=32060 grams

to find the weight of box we have to subtract the weight of total box from the weight of total 6 rocks

therefore, 32060-31200=860 gram

therefore the weight of box will be 860 grams

glad to help you :)
