Detailed Solution

Concept: The weight of eight such pencil boxes is 1.8kg. To compute the weight of eight boxes, use a unitary method, which relies on information about a single object to estimate the value of several objects. Add 225g to each box's weight to get its total weight.
to determine the total weight of these pencil cases.
We are aware that a pencil box weighs 225g. The combined weight of eight of these pencil cases must be determined.
We will achieve this by dividing the total number of pencil boxes by the weight of each individual box of paper.
Eight pencil boxes weigh 225g each, so eight of them equal 1800g.
Eight pencil cartons each weigh 1800g.
This weight can also be converted to kilos.
1 kg equals 1000 gram, as we all know. Consequently, 1g Equals 11000 kg.
We shall multiply x by 11000 to convert x gram to kilogram
When x=1800 is substituted, we get 1800g=1800×11000=1.8kg.
As a result, 1800g=1.8kg.
Hence, eight pencil boxes weigh 1800g, or 1.8kg.
