Question

Solve the following word problems.

Each bag of rice weighs $245kg.$ What is the total weight of $6,950$ bags in grams $?$

Answer 1

The weight of one rice bag $=245kg$

Then, weight of such $6,950$ bags $=6,950\times 245$

\$$\begin{gathered} 6950 \\ \times 245 \\ ------ \\ 34750 \\ +278000 \\ +1390000 \\ ------- \\ 1702750 \end{gathered}$$

$=17,02,750kg$

$=17,02,750\times 1000g$ $\left[\because 1kg=1000g\right]$

$=1,70,27,50,000g$

Hence, the total weight of such $6,950$bags is $1,70,27,50,000g$
