Question

Express $26$ $\mathrm{kg}$ $50$ $\mathrm{g}$ as $\mathrm{kg}$ using decimals

Answer 1

Conversion of unit :

First we convert $50$ $\mathrm{g}$ into $\mathrm{kg}$

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

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

$50g$ $=50\times \frac{1}{1000}$ $\mathrm{kg}$

$=\frac{50}{1000}$ $\mathrm{kg}$ $=0.05$ $\mathrm{kg}$

Now add $26$ $\mathrm{kg}$ and $0.05$ $\mathrm{kg}$ , we get $26.05$ $\mathrm{kg}$

Therefore, in decimals $26$ $\mathrm{kg}$ $50$ $\mathrm{g}$ is equal to $26.05$ $\mathrm{kg}$
