Let's call the weight of the mango "m".
We know that the durian is 5 times as heavy as the mango, so the weight of the durian is:
5m
We also know that the durian is heavier than the mango by 1.86kg, so we can set up an equation:
5m - m = 1.86
Simplifying this equation:
4m = 1.86
Dividing both sides by 4:
m = 0.465
So the weight of the mango is 0.465kg.
To find the weight of the durian, we can use the fact that it is 5 times as heavy as the mango:
5m = 5(0.465) = 2.325
Therefore, the weight of the durian is 2.325kg.
