Box F is 4 times as heavy as Box G. Box H is 5.78 kg heavier than Box G. The total mass of Box F and Box G is 58 kg.
- What is the mass of Box G?
- What is the mass of Box H?
(a)
Mass of Box G = 1 u
Mass of Box F
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Mass of Box H = 1 u + 5.78
Total mass of Box F and Box G
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
5 u = 58
1 u = 58 ÷ 5 = 11.6
Mass of Box G
= 1 u
= 11.6 kg
(b)
Mass of Box H
= 1 u + 5.78
= 11.6 + 5.78
= 17.38 kg
Answer(s): (a) 11.6 kg; (b) 17.38 kg
