If 7 1/4 boxes of parts weigh a total of 68 7/8 pounds, what does one box of parts weigh?
Solution:
Given, weight of 7 1/4 parts of boxes = 68 7/8 pounds
7 1/4 boxes means [7(4)+1]/4
= 29/4 boxes
68 7/8 pounds means [68(8) + 7] / 8
= (544 + 7) / 8
= 551 / 8 pounds.
So, 29 / 4 boxes weigh 551 / 8 pounds.
Weight of 1 part of box = (551 / 8) / (29 / 4)
= [551 × 4] / [8 × 29]
= 19 / 2
= 9.5 pounds.
Therefore, the weight of one part of the box is 9.5 pounds.
If 71/4 boxes of parts weigh a total of 687/8 pounds, what does one box of parts weigh?
Summary:
If 7 1/4 parts of boxes weigh a total of 68 7/8 pounds, the weight of one part of the box is 9.5 pounds.
