Answer:
[tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex]pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of gold in the chest box = [tex]3\frac{1}{3}[/tex]pounds
Unknown:
Number of pounds of gold the chest can hold = ?
Solution:
The chest can hold [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex]times the amount of the box ;
So;
Number of pounds of the gold in the chest can hold;
= [tex]2\frac{3}{5}[/tex] times x Mass of gold in the chest box
= [tex]\frac{13}{5}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{10}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{26}{3}[/tex]pounds
