Question

From the figure given below, find the weight of the mangoes in grams.

Answer 1

Weights in the left pan alongwith mangoes = 100 g + 500 g = 600 g
Weights in the right pan = 1 kg + 2 kg = 3 kg
So,
$\Rightarrow$ Weight of mangoes = 3 kg - 600 g

Now, we need to convert the units.
Since we need the final answer in kilograms, let us convert 3 kilograms into grams.

1 kg = 1000 g
$\Rightarrow$ 3 kg = 3 X 1000 g
= 3000 g

$\therefore$ Weight of mangoes = 3000 g - 600 g
= 2400 g
