<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> A tin containing condensed soup weighs 1.50 kg. The tin itself weighs 40 g. How much does the soup weigh in grams?

• A. 1,210 g
• B. 1,350 g
• C. 1,460 g
• D. 1,520 g

Answer 1

The correct option is C 1,460 g

Weight of the tin containing soup
= 1.50 kg

Weight of the tin = 40 g

Let's convert kg into g using the given table.


1 kg = 1,000 g
∴ 1.5 kg = 1.5 × 1,000 g = 1,500 g

To determine the weight of the soup, we have to subtract the weight of the tin from the total weight.

$\text{1,500 g – 40 g =1,460 g}$

Hence, the weight of the soup in the can is 1,460 g.
