total weight = 80 1/6 = 481/6 grams
chain weight = 26 7/12 = 319/12 grams
weight of the box = total weight - chain weight
=481/6 - 319/12
=(962 - 319)/12
= 643 / 12 grams
= 53.59 grams
hope it helps!!!!

you made a small mistake in subtracting 962 - 319 .it is 643 not 543
both are correct
can u explain simply
80 1/6 = (80*6+1)/6=481/6
tnx
26 7/12= (26*12+7)/12=319/12
