if there are 5 boxes and the total weight is 3 pounds how much does each box weight

Question

hi

Answer 1

each box weighs 3/5 = 0.6 pound

that's assuming each box weights the same

if they dont' then all you know is each base weighs somewhere between 0 and 3 pounds

such as 4 weigh 1/2 pound each and the 5th weights 1 pound

or

3 weigh 1/3 pound each and the other two weight 1 pound each

or

1 weights 2 pounds and the other 4 weigh 1/4 pound each
