Question

the average weight of the two boxes is 119 kilograms. The weight of the heavier box is 6 times the weight of the lighter box. What is the weight of the heavier box ​

Answer 1

Answer:

204 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of the lite box be "a"

Weight of heavy box = 6 times of a

                                   = 6a

Average weight of of the boxes is 119:

  ⇒ (sum/no of boxes) = 119

   ⇒ (a + 6a)/2 = 119

   ⇒ 7a/2 = 119

   ⇒ a = (119 *2)/7 = 34

Weight of heavier box = 6a = 6(34)

                                     = 204 kg

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the wg of the lite box be 'a'

Wg of heavy box = 6 times of a

                               = 6a

Average wg of of the boxes is 119

⇒ (sum/no of boxes) = 119

⇒ (a + 6a)/2 = 119

⇒ 7a/2 = 119

⇒ a = (119 *2)/7 = 34

Weight of heavier box = 6 a = 6 (34)

                                      = 204 kg
