Question

Using decimals, express
(i) 15 kg 850 g in kilograms
(ii) 8 kg 96 g in kilograms
(iii) 540 g in kilograms
(iv) 8 g in kilograms

Answer 1

(i) 15 kg 850 g in kilograms:
15 kg + 850 gm = 15 kg + $\frac{850}{1000}$ kg [Since 1 kg = 1000 gm]
15 kg + 0.850 kg = 15.850 kg

(ii) 8 kg 96 g in kilograms:
8 kg + 96 gm = 8 kg + $\frac{96}{1000}$kg [Since 1 kg = 1000 gm]
8 kg + 0.096 kg = 8.096 kg

(iii) 540 g in kilograms:
540 gm = $\frac{540}{1000}$ kg = 0.540 kg [Since 1 kg = 1000 gm]

(iv) 8 g in kilograms:
8 gm = $\frac{8}{1000}$ kg = 0.008 kg [Since 1 kg = 1000 gm]
