    Answer: 625g, 626g, 627 g

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

    The weight of the cereal (x) plus the weight of the box (5) must be higher than 629 and less than 633.

    Mathematically speaking:

    629<5+x<633

    Solving for x:

    629 <5+x

    629-5
    624
    5+x<633

    x<633-5

    x<628

    624
    So, the weight of the cereal only must be higher than 624g and less than 628g.

    The possible weights are

    625g, 626g, 627 g

    Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
