Question

Express as kg using decimals.
(a) 3750 g
(b) 5 kg 8 g

Answer 1

(a) 3750 g.
To convert g into kg, we need to divide the given weight by 1000.
So, 3750g = $\frac{3750}{1000}$ kg = 3.75 kg.

(b) 5 kg 8g.
We need to convert the 8 g into kg and then add it with 5 kg.
So, 8 g = $\frac{8}{1000}$ kg = 0.008 kg.
5kg + 0.008kg = 5.008 kg.
Thus, 5 kg 8 g = 5.008 kg.
