Given :-
Weight of each box = 5 ¼ units
Total no. of boxes given = 9 ⅓ boxes
First of all, we've to convert the fraction in proper form.
➡ 5 ¼ = (5 × 4 + 1)/4 = 21/4 units
➡ 9 ⅓ = (9 × 3 + 1)/3 = 28/3 boxes
Therefore the weight of total boxes = weight of one box * total no. of boxes
= 21/4 × 28/3
= 7 × 7 (since 21/3 = 7 and 28/4 = 7)
= 49 units
Hence, the weight of 9 ⅓ boxes is 49 units.
