Answer 1

Answer:

answer= 10.5 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

let the weight of orange box = x

SO,

x  x 2/5 = 4.2

x = 42/10 x 5/2               4.2 = 42/10

x = 10.5 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of the box be x

so $2/5x = 4.2kg$

so by cross multiplying we get $2x=21kg$

so $x=20/2=10.5kg$

Hence the weight of the box of oranges is 10.5kg
