Solution

The correct option is B 26 kg
Jim initially had 19,700 g of sand.
He added 6,300 g of sand more.

So, the total amount of sand = 19,700 + 6,300 = 26,000 g


Now, converting gram to kilogram, we see:

So, 1 gram=11000 kg
⇒ 26,000 gram=26000×11000 kg=26 kg

∴ Jim will now have 26 kg of sand in his sandbox.
