Question

Fill in the blank:

• A. 2,520
• B. 252
• C. 25,200
• D. 252,000

Answer 1

The correct option is D 252,000

Amount of cereal eaten by Carl in 1 day = 25 g 200 mg

$\text{∴ In 10 days, amount of cereal he consumes}$
$=25\text{g}200\text{mg of cereal}\times 10$

Convert the amount consumed to a common unit (mg).

We know, 1 g = 1,000 mg
$\text{⇒ 25 g}=25\times 1000=\text{25,000 mg}$
∴ Total amount of cereal consumed by Carl in 1 day = 25,000 mg + 200 mg = 25,200 mg

So, amount of cereal consumed by Carl $\text{in 10 days is}=25,200\times 10=252,000\text{mg}$
