Question

The weight of two boxes is 5 3/4 kg . If the weight of one box is 2 5/6 kg. Find the weight of second box?

Answer 1

Answer:

2 11/12 Kg.

Step-by-step explanation:

weight of boxes = 5 3/4 Kg = 23/4 kg.

Weight of 1 box = 2 5/6 Kg = 17/6 kg.

Weight of 2nd box  =  23/4 - 17/6

                             

                                 =    69 - 34

                                      ------------- = 35/12 = 2 11/12 Kg.

                                              12

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{37}{12}$ is the weight of the second box

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

Given in the question, the weight of two boxes is $5\frac{3}{4} kg$.

And the weight of one box = $2\frac{5}{6}kg$

Let x be the weight of the second box.

Step 1:

We have, a total weight of two boxes = $5\frac{3}{4}kg$ = $\frac{23}{4} kg$

Weight of one box = $2\frac{5}{6}kg$ = $\frac{17}{6}kg$

According to the question, the sum of two boxes =  $\frac{23}{4} kg$

⇒ x + $\frac{17}{6}kg$ = $\frac{23}{4} kg$

⇒ x = $\frac{23}{4} - \frac{17}{6}$ = $\frac{69 - 32}{12}$ = $\frac{37}{12}$

Where  we assumed  that x be weight of second box.

Final answer:

Hence, $\frac{37}{12}$ is the weight of the second box.
