    Step-by-step explanation:

    The question is incomplete as we are not told what we are to determine. Consider the following question

    Question:

    Tomas has two boxes to be shipped. One box weighs 3 kilograms. The other box weighs 720 grams.

    a) What is the total weight of the boxes in kilogram?

    b) If the shipping cost $8 per kilogram, what is the total cost of shipping.

    Solution:

    This is a question on measuring mass.

    a) Total weight of the two boxes = weight of 1st box + weight of 2nd box

    1st box = 3kg

    2nd box = 720g

    1000 g is equal to 1 kg

    720g = (720/1000) kg = 0.72 kg

    2nd box = 0.72 kg

    Total weight of the two boxes = 3kg + 0.72kg

    Total weight of the two boxes = 3.72kg

    b) cost of shipping per kg = $8

    cost of shipping for 3.72 kg = 8 * 3.72

    Total cost of shipping for both boxes = $29.76
