a book containing 4 identical books weighs 5kg if the weight of the box is 600g what is the weight of each box
5000-600=4400/4=1100gram
To find the weight of each book, we need to subtract the weight of the box from the total weight of the four books.
Given:
Total weight of 4 identical books = 5 kg
Weight of the box = 600 g
First, convert the weight of the box to kilograms:
Weight of the box = 600 g = 600/1000 kg = 0.6 kg
Now, we need to find the weight of the four books together:
Total weight of 4 books = 5 kg
Next, subtract the weight of the box from the total weight of the four books:
Weight of the four books without the box = Total weight of 4 books - Weight of the box
Weight of the four books without the box = 5 kg - 0.6 kg
Weight of the four books without the box = 4.4 kg
Since there are 4 identical books, we can find the weight of each book by dividing the total weight of the four books without the box by 4:
Weight of each book = Weight of the four books without the box / 4
Weight of each book = 4.4 kg / 4
Weight of each book = 1.1 kg
Therefore, the weight of each book is 1.1 kg.
