Question

The average weight of six boys is 14kg, if the total weight of four of them is 70 kg. what is the weight of the remaining two boys?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the average weight of six boys is 14 kg

by using formula for calculating average

average = sum of total number of observation / total number of observation

14 = sum of weight of 6 boys / 6

14×6 =sum of weights of 6 boys

84 = sum of weight of 6 boys

but it given that

4 of them weighs 70 kg

84= 70 +weight of those two boys

14= weight of those two boys

therfore the total weight of those two boys is 14kg
