Answer 1

Ally put 4000 grams of watermelon in each bowl.

Explanation:

Given:

Ally sliced 32 kg of watermelon for a party. She divided the watermelon slices equally between 8 large bowls.

Now, to find the grams of watermelon Ally put in each bowl.

Total weight of watermelon = 32 kg.

Number of bowls = 8.

As, Ally divided the watermelon slices equally between bowls.

Now, to get the grams of watermelon Ally put in each bowl we divide total weight of watermelon by number of bowls:

`32/ 8\\\\=4\ kilograms.`

Now, using conversion factor we convert kilograms into grams:

1 kilogram = 1000 grams.

4 kilograms = 4 × 1000 grams.

4 kilograms = 4000 grams.

Thus, there are 4000 grams of watermelon in each bowl.

Therefore, Ally put 4000 grams of watermelon in each bowl.
