Answer:
Large box weighs 18.25 kilograms
Small box weighs 15.25 kilograms
Step-by-step explanation:
A fruit company delivers its fruit in two types of boxes: large and small.
Let x = weight of large box.
Let y = weight of small box.
A delivery of 3 large boxes and 5 small boxes has a total weight of 131 kilograms. This means
3x + 5y = 131 - - - - - - - - - - -1
A delivery of 6 large boxes and 2 small boxes has a total weight of 140 kilograms.
This means 6x + 2y = 140 - - - - - - - 2
Solving equation 1 and equation 2 by elimination method,
Multiply equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3
18x + 30y = 786
18x +6y = 420
24y = 366
y = 366/24 = 15.25
Put y = 15.25 in equation 1
3x + 5× 15.25 = 131
3x + 76.25 = 131
3x = 131 - 76.25
3x = 54.75
x = 54.75/3 = 18.25
So, we have
5.5/12
Convert to a denominator of 60, since there are 60 mins in an hour
60/12= 5
Multiply numerator and denominator by 5
5*5.5= 27.5
12*5= 60
So our answer is 27.5/60 or 27.5 pages an hour
I hope this helps :)
