Solution

The correct option is B

7.5 kilograms


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

Total weight of the sweets
= 625 × 12 g = 7500 g

Since 1000 g = 1 kg, we have
1 g=11000 kg 1 g=0.001 kg7500 grams=7500×0.001 kg =7.5 kg

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