Question

The weight of a bicycle is 8 kg and 650 g. What is the weight of the bicycle in g?

• A. $\text{8750 g}$
• B. $\text{8950 g}$
• C. $\text{8550 g}$
• D. $\text{8650 g}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\text{8650 g}$

Weight of the bicycle = 8 kg 650 g.

$\text{To calculate the total weight of the}$ $\text{bicycle, in grams, we have to convert}$ $\text{kilograms to grams.}$

$\text{We know that,}$
$\text{1 kg = 1000 g}$


$\text{Hence, we will multiply 8 with 1000.}$

$\text{So, 8 kg}=8\times 1\text{kg}$
$=8\times 1000\text{g}$
$=8000\text{g}$

The total weight of the bicycle will be:
$⟹$ $\text{8000 + 650 = 8650 g}$

$\text{Thus, the total weight of the bicycle}$ $\text{is 8650 g.}$
