Question

Each bag of pears weighs 1 kg 160 gram. What is total weight of a sack which contains 5 bags of pears?

Answer 1

5 kg 800 grams

5800g

Explanation:

the first step is to convert 1kg to gram

100 kilogram = 1 gram

1kg x 1000 = 1000g

1kg 160 gram = 1000 + 160 = 1160 gram

If 1 sack weighs 1160 g

5 sacks = 1160g x 5 = 5800 gram

or 5800 / 1000 = 5 kg 800 grams
