Hello there. To solve this question, we have to remember how to convert kilograms to grams.
Given an amount in kilograms, to determine its value in grams, we simply multiply it by 1000.
In this case, we know that Mr. Cume bought the amount of clay listed for his class:
- 2.2 kilograms
- 1.5 kilograms
- 850 grams
- 700 grams
To determine how many grams of clay he bought, we start converting the values from kilograms to grams
2.2 kilograms * 1000 = 2200 grams and
1.5 kilograms * 1000 = 1500 grams
Now, we add everything
2200 + 1500 + 850 + 700 = 5250 grams
This is the final answer to this question.
