Question

Sarah packed 12 boxes of sweets each weighing 625 grams. What is the total weight of the boxes of sweets Sarah packed?

• A. 7 kg
• B. 7.75 g
• C. 7 g
• D. 7.5 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is D 7.5 kg

Weight of one box of sweets = 625 g
Number of boxes = 12

$\therefore$ Total weight of the sweets
= 625 $\times$ 12 g = 7500 g

Since 1000 g = 1 kg, we have
7500 g = 7500 ÷ 1000
= 7.5 kg


Thus, the total weight of the boxes of sweets Sarah packed is 7.5 kg.
