A box contains 3 dumb-bells.
Each dumb-bell has a mass of
3
3 --
5
kilograms.
What is the mass of 2 similar boxes?
(Leave your answer as a mixed number in simplest form.)
Each dumbell weighs 3 3/5 kg
3 3/5 kg/dumb x 3 dumb = 18/3 x 3 = 54/3 = 18 kg (the amount EACH BOX weighs)
2 boxes x 18 kg/box = 36 kg for 2 boxes
