Question

Harry buys 250 g of rice from Shop A and 500 g of rice from Shop B.

How many kg of rice is bought by Harry in total?

• A. $0.75kg$
• B. $0.70kg$
• C. $0.62kg$
• D. $0.81kg$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $0.75kg$

$\text{Amount of rice bought}$ $\text{from Shop A = 250 g}$

$\text{Amount of rice bought}$ $\text{from Shop B = 500 g}$

$\text{Total amount of rice bought}$ $\text{from both the shops}$ $\text{= 250 g + 500 g}$

$\text{= 750 g}$

$\text{Now, convert g to}$ $\text{kg.}$

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

$\text{750 g =}\frac{750}{1000}\text{= 0.75 kg}$

$\text{Hence, Harry bought 0.75 kg of rice.}$
