Question

If `3/4` of a box of apples weighs 3 kg and 225 gm, how much does a full box of apples weigh?

Answer 1

Let the total weight of a box of apples = x kg.

Weight of `3/4` of a box apples = 3 kg 225 gm.

= 3.225 kg

`3/4 xx x` = 3.225

x = `(3.225 xx 4)/3  "kg"`

= 1.075 × 4 kg = 4.3 kg

= 4 kg 300 gm

Weight of the box of apples = 4 kg 300 gm.
