Answer:

Large box: 18.5\ kilograms

Small box: 15.25\ kilograms

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be "l" the weight in kilograms of a large box and "s" the weight in kilograms of a smalll box.

Set up a system of equations:

\left \{ {{3l+2s=86} \atop {8l+4s=209}} \right.

In order to solve the system of equations, you can apply the Elimination Method. Multiply the first equation by -2, add the equations and then solve for "l":

\left \{ {{-6l-4s=-172} \atop {8l+4s=209}} \right.\\......................\\2l=37\\\\l=\frac{37}{2}\\\\l=18.5

Finally, susbstitute the value of "l" into any original equation and solve for "s":

3(18.5)+2s=86\\\\2s=86-55.5\\\\s=\frac{30.5}{2}\\\\s=15.25

What is the square root of 4/225
LuckyWell [14K]
2 / 15

This is simpler than you think. Just take the square root of the denominator and of the numerator and stick it back into fraction form. The square root of 4 is 2 and the square root of 225 is 15. Voila: 2 / 15.
