• A. $20$ kilograms
• B. $2000$ grams
• C. $2$ kilograms
• D. $200$ grams

Answer 1

The correct option is C $2$ kilograms

Given,
Weight of a candy $=50$ grams.
Number of children around neighbourhood $=40$
Each child get one candy.

Weight of candies for $40$ children $=50\times 40=2000$ grams.
We need to calculate the weight of candies in kilograms.

We know,
$1000$ gram = $1$ kilograms.
$\Rightarrow 1$ gram $=\frac{1}{1000}$ kilograms.
$\therefore 2000$ grams $=\frac{2000}{1000}=2$ kilograms.

Hence, Markrum will buy $2$ kilograms of candy for children.
