Answer 2

Given,

The weight of brick = 2 kg

The weight of stone is 1⅙ kg lighter than of brick.

To find,

The weight of the stone.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

Let, the weight of the stone = x kg

According to the data mentioned in the question,

2 - 1⅙ = x

2 - 7/6 = x

(12-7)/6 = x

⅚ = x

x = ⅚

The weight of the stone = ⅚ kilograms

(We have kept the final answer in fractional form, one can also write this answer in the decimal form, as per the necessity.)

Hence, the weight of the stone is ⅚ kg.
