Find the weight of each book in grams.

• A. 200 g
• B. 300 g
• C. 500 g
• D. 400 g

Answer 1

The correct option is C 500 g

$\text{Number of books in the carton}$ $\text{= 24}$

$\text{Total weight of the carton = 12 kg}$

$\text{First of all, we will have to convert}$ $\text{kilograms to grams.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 kilogram =}$ $\text{1,000 grams}$


$\text{Hence, we will multiply 12 with 1,000.}$

$\text{So, 12 kg}=12\times 1\text{kg}$
$=12\times 1000\text{g}$
$=12,000\text{g}$

$\text{Now, let's calculate the weight of}$ $\text{each book.}$

$\text{So we will divide 12,000 by 24.}$


$\text{Hence, the weight of each book is}$ $\text{500 g.}$
