• A. $\frac{13}{15}$kg
• B. $\frac{10}{130}$kg
• C. $\frac{130}{15}$kg
• D. $\frac{15}{130}$kg

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{130}{15}$kg

Solution: Here, we need to find the total weight of the boxes.
● Weight of 1 box $=\frac{10}{15}$ kg
● Number of boxes weighed $=13$
● Weight of 13 such boxes
$=$ Weight of 1 box $\times$ Number of boxes weighed
$=\frac{10}{15}\times 13$
$=\frac{130}{15}$kg

Hence, option A is the correct answer.
