Small box weighs 13.75 kg & large box weighs 15.75 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

We can write 2 simultaneous equation and solve for weight of each box.

Let weight of large box be l and small box be s.

"3 large boxes and  5 small boxes has a total weight of  116 kilograms":

and

"9 large boxes and  7 small boxes has a total weight of  238 kilograms":

Now we can solve for l in the 1st equation and put it into 2nd equation and get s:

now,

now we plug in 13.75 into s into equation of l to find s:

about 0.75 hours
