Question

there are 3 boxes. Box A is 2 and a half heavier than box B.Box C is 10 and a quarter heavier than Box B. the total weight is 48 3/4 kg. find the weight of box A

Answer 1

Answer:

let weight of b = x

weight of a = x + (5/2)

weight of c = x+(41/4)

now

195/4 = x+ x+ x+ 5/2 + 41/4

195/4 - 51/4 = 3x

144/4= 3x

36=3x

x=12

weight of a = 12+5/2

=14.5
