Question

Ajay bought $1.25\mathrm{kg}$ almonds, $4\mathrm{hg}$ cashew nuts ,$60000\mathrm{cg}$ figs and $200\mathrm{g}$ raisins. Find the total weight of the dry fruits in $\mathrm{grams}$.

Answer 1

First convert the different units in $\mathrm{grams}$ and then add them to find the total amount of almond

Weight of almonds $=1.25\mathrm{kg}$

Weight of cashew nuts $=4\mathrm{hg}$

Weight of figs $=60000\mathrm{cg}$

Weight of raisins $=200\mathrm{g}$

We will convert the weight of almonds, cashew nuts and figs in $\mathrm{gram}$

Converting $\mathrm{kg}$ into $\mathrm{gram}$

$1\mathrm{kg}=1000\mathrm{g}$

$1.25\mathrm{kg}=1.25\times 1000\mathrm{g}=1250\mathrm{g}$

Thus, Weight of almonds $=1250\mathrm{g}$

Converting $\mathrm{hg}$ into $\mathrm{gram}$

$1\mathrm{hg}=100\mathrm{g}$

$4\mathrm{hg}=4\times 100\mathrm{g}=400\mathrm{g}$

Thus, Weight of cashew nuts $=400\mathrm{g}$

Converting $\mathrm{cg}$ into $\mathrm{gram}$

$1\mathrm{cg}=\frac{1}{100}\mathrm{g}$

$60000\mathrm{cg}=\frac{60000}{100}\mathrm{g}=600\mathrm{g}$

Thus, Weight of figs$=600\mathrm{g}$

Hence, the total weight of the dry fruits in $\mathrm{grams}$.$=1250\mathrm{g}+400\mathrm{g}+600\mathrm{g}+200\mathrm{g}=2450\mathrm{g}$
