Answer

Find out the What is the total weight of the items already packed .

To prove

As given

The luggage allowance on the flight is 20 kg per person.

The list of the weights of some items already packed in one of the suitcases.

[tex]Toothbrush - 95 g\ ,Toiletries - 1.4 kg\ ,Shoes = 3\frac{1}{8}\ ,Beach towel - 0.6 kg[/tex]

Clothes - 8580 g

[tex]As\ 1g=\frac{1}{1000}\ kg[/tex]

Now convert 95 g  

[tex]95g=\frac{95}{1000}\ kg[/tex]

             = 0.095 kg

Thus Toothbrush weight  = 0.095 kg

Now convert 8580 g  

[tex]8580g=\frac{8580}{1000}\ kg[/tex]

             = 8.58 kg

Thus clothes weight  = 8.58 kg

Now

[tex]Shoes\ weight = 3 \frac{1}{8}\ kg[/tex]

[tex]Shoes\ weight=\frac{25}{8}\ kg[/tex]

Shoes weight = 3.125 kg (approx)

Thus

Total weight of the items = Toothbrush weight + clothes weight + Toiletries weight + Beach towel weight + Shoes weight

                                         =  0.095 kg + 8.58 kg +  1.4 kg + 0.6 kg + 3.125kg

                                         = 13.8 kg

Therefore  the total weight of the items already packed is 13.8 kg .
