Question

What is the total weight of items (in kg) bought by Sarah?

• A. 20 kg
• B. 25 kg
• C. 30 kg
• D. 40 kg

Answer 1

The correct option is B 25 kg

Sarah has bought the following items:
8 kg of sugar, 10 kg of cocoa, 2000 g of pecan, and 5000 g of flour.

We have to find the total weight in kilograms.

So, the conversion table is observed as:

So, 1,000 g = 1 kg
$\text{∴ 2,000 g of pecan}=\frac{2000}{1000}=2\text{kg of pecan}$

And,
$\text{∴ 5,000 g of flour}=\frac{5000}{1000}=5\text{kg of flour}$

∴ Total weight of all items bought by Sarah = 8 kg + 10 kg + 2 kg + 5 kg
= 25 kg
