Answer 2

Let the weight of box A = 'x'.

(i) Given that Box B weights 3 1/2 kg more than Box A.

= > Weight of Box B = (x + 3 1/2) = (x + 7/2) kg.

(ii) Given that Box C weighs 5 1/3 kg more than Box B.

= > Weight of Box C = (x + 7/2 + 16/3) kg.

Now,

Given that Total weight is 60 1/2 = 121/2 kg.

= > x + x + 7/2 + x + 7/2 + 16/3 = 121/2

= > 3x + 7 + 16/3 = 121/2

= > 3x + 37/3 = 121/2

= > 3x = 121/2 - 37/3

= > 3x = 289/6

= > x = 289/18

= > x = 16 (1/18) kg.

Therefore, Weight of box A = 16 (1/18) kg.

Hope this helps!
