Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Weight of large box = x
Weight of small box = y
According to given statement;
5x+2y=102 Eqn 1
3x+8y=153 Eqn 2
Multiyplying Eqn 1 by 4
Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3
Dividing both sides by 17
Putting x=15 in Eqn 2
Dividing both sides by 8
Each large box weighs 15 kilograms and each small box weighs 13.5 kilograms.

Answer:
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
We know distance formula,
D = RT
Where
D is distance
R is rate
T is time
If we let speed of boat (assume) to be "x" and speed of current to be "c"
Then downstream rate is (with current) = x + c
Upstream rate is (against current) = x - c
40 mins to go 20 miles downstream, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x + c)(40)
and
60 minutes to go upstream, 20 miles, that means:
D = RT
20 = (x - c)(60)
Simplifying first equation:
40x + 40c = 20
Simplifying second equation:
60x - 60c = 20
Multiplying first equation by 60, we get:
60 * [40x + 40c = 20] = 2400x + 2400c = 1200
Multiplying second equation by 40, we get:
40 * [60x - 60c = 20] = 2400x - 2400c = 800
Now we add up both these equations:
2400x + 2400c = 1200
2400x - 2400c = 800
----------------------------------
4800x = 2000
x = 2000/4800 = 5/12
We need speed of current, that is "c", so we plug in the value of x into first equation and solve for c:
Speed of Current = 1/12 miles per minute
Since there is 60 minutes in an hours, that would be:
(1/12) * 60 = 5 miles per hour
Speed of Current = 5 miles per hour
