Solution
The correct option is C 3,400 kg Weight of each bag = 38 kg and 400 g
Let's convert the weight into a single unit.
We know, 1,000 g = 1 kg ⇒ 1 g = 11000 kg ⇒ 400 g = 4001000 kg = 0.4 kg
∴ Weight of each bag
= 38 kg + 0.4 kg
= 38.4 kg
Weight of 50 bags
= 50×38.4 kg
= 5×10×38410 kg
= 5×384 kg
= 1,920 kg
Weight of the spaceship = 1,480 kg
Total weight of 50 bags and spaceship =Weight of 50 bags+Weight of the spaceship =1,920kg+1,480kg
