The mass of 6 identical small parcels is 18 kg, and the mass is large, the parcel is 8 kg. How many kilograms is the mass of a small parcel less than the mass of a large one?

Initially, we calculate the mass of one small parcel by dividing the mass of all small parcels by their number.

1) 18 kg / 6 parcels = 3 kg – the weight of one small parcel.

Now let’s compare the mass of one small and large parcels. To do this, subtract the weight of the small package from the weight of the large parcel.

2) 8 kg – 3 kg = 5 kg – a small package weighs so much less than a large one.

To summarize, a large package weighs five kilograms more than a small package.
