Answer:
1.5b (kg)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's begin by listing out the variables we were given:
weight of the watermelon = b (kg),
weight of watermelon = (2/5) * weight of candies
weight of candies = 1 ÷ (2/5) = 1 ÷ 0.4
weight of candies = 2.5b (kg)
How much is the weight of the box of candies greater than the weight of the watermelon is given by:
weight of the box of candies - weight of watermelon= 2.5b - b = 1.5b (kg)
Therefore, the weight of the box of candies is greater than the weight of the watermelon by 1.5b (kg)
MAKE SURE TO ADD ‘b’ AFTER THE 1.5. THEN YOU WILL GET CORRECT ANSWER!!!! Also, please mark BRAINLIEST!!!!
