Answer 1

Answer:

An empty box weighing 2.2 kg with two books weighing 750 g each and a painting weighing 535 g has a total weight of 4.235 in kilograms.

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of empty box is 2.2kg

Weight of one book is 750 g

Therefore, weight of two books $= 750×2$

= 1500g

To convert g into kilograms divide it by 1000

Hence weight of two books = 1500/1000kg

= 1.5 kilograms

Weight of painting is 535 g

To convert g into kilograms divide it by 1000

Hence weight of painting = 535/1000 kg

= 0.535 kilograms

Total weight of box = weight of empty box + weight of two books + weight of painting

= 2.2 kg + 1.5 kg + 0.535kg

= 4.235 kg
