Three parcels weigh 2 pounds two parcels weigh the same the lightest weight is 5/8 pound lighter than the heaviest weight how much do each of the parcels weigh

Two parcels weigh lb and the heaviest parcel weigh lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the weight of two parcels which are equal in weight = x lb

and the weight of the heaviest weight parcel = y lb

From the statement of the question,

"Three parcels weigh 2 pounds".

x + x + y = 2

2x + y = 2 -------(1)

"The lightest wight is pound lighter then the heaviest".

--------(2)

Now we add equation (1) and equation (2)

(2x + y) + (x - y) = 2 -

3x =

3x =

x = lb

from equation (1),

y = 2 -

y = lb ≈

Therefore, two parcels weigh lb and the heaviest parcel weigh lb.
