The answer is the Gross weight = 225 lb

Answer: The gross weight is 225 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Weight of an article 10 lb

Weight of box = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ lb[/tex]

Number of article = 20

Weight of one freight container = 15 lb

So, Total weight of article is given by

[tex]\text{Number of articles }\times \text{Weight of each article}\\\\=20\times 10\\\\=200\ lb[/tex]

Total weight of box becomes after 20 articles are put into it .

[tex]20\times \frac{1}{2}\\\\=10\ lb[/tex]

Gross weight is given by

[tex]200+10+15\\\\=225\ lb[/tex]

Hence, the gross weight is 225 lb.
