Best Ans:

Let's denote the weight of the empty box as "E" grams.

Now, let's calculate the total weight of the box and its contents:

So, the total weight of the poles and net is 13.2 gm + 1.4 gm = 14.6 gm.

Now, we are given that the box and its contents together weigh 16.25 gm. Therefore, we can write the equation:

E (weight of the empty box) + 14.6 gm (weight of poles and net) = 16.25 gm (total weight)

Now, solve for E:

E + 14.6 gm = 16.25 gm

Subtract 14.6 gm from both sides:

E = 16.25 gm - 14.6 gm

E = 1.65 gm

So, the weight of the empty box is 1.65 grams, which is equivalent to 1.6 grams when rounded to one decimal place.
