See explanation below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete as we are not told what we are to determine. Consider the following question
Question:
Tomas has two boxes to be shipped. One box weighs 3 kilograms. The other box weighs 720 grams.
a) What is the total weight of the boxes in kilogram?
b) If the shipping cost $8 per kilogram, what is the total cost of shipping.
Solution:
This is a question on measuring mass.
a) Total weight of the two boxes = weight of 1st box + weight of 2nd box
1st box = 3kg
2nd box = 720g
1000 g is equal to 1 kg
720g = (720/1000)kg = 0.72 kg
2nd box = 0.72 kg
Total weight of the two boxes = 3kg + 0.72kg
Total weight of the two boxes = 3.72kg
b) cost of shipping per kg = $8
cost of shipping for 3.72 kg = 8 × 3.72
Total cost of shipping for both boxes = $29.76
