Question

David bought 2 kilograms and 500 grams of apples. How many apples did he buy in total (Kg)?

• A. 2.5 kg
• B. 2.2 kg
• C. 2kg
• D. 0.2 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is A 2.5 kg

David bought 2 kilograms and 500 grams of apples

To simplify convert grams into kilograms.
$\because$ 1 kg = 1000g

$500g=\frac{500}{1000}=\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5kg$

So, he bought 2 kg and 0.5 kg of apples.
Whole part $=2$ kg,
Fractional Part $=0.5$ kg.

The whole number is written to the left of the decimal point. The fractional part is written to the right of the decimal point.

Total amount of apple bought $=2+0.5$kg
$=2.5g$
