Answer 1

Given :

A restaurant had 3 full boxes of spoons and 4/6 of a box.

Each full box weighed 2 kilograms .

To Find :

The combined weight of the boxes the restaurant has.

Solution :

Mass of 1 box is 2 kg .

So , mass of 4/6 of a box is 4/3 kg .

Total mass :

$M=3\times \text{Mass of one full box }+ \text{Mass of 4/6 of a box}\\\\M=(3\times 2) + \dfrac{4}{3}\\\\M=7.33\ kg$

Therefore ,  the combined weight of the boxes the restaurant has is 7.33 kg.

Hence , this is the required solution .
