Question

Which weighs more, 4800 grams or 5 kilograms?

• A. 4800 grams
• B. 5 kilograms
• C. Both weights are equal
• D. Cannot be compared

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5 kilograms

To compare two quantities their units have to be same .

Therefore convert 5 kg to g

From the conversion table, we see that

To convert larger units (kg) to smaller units (g) we multiply by the conversion factor.
We know that 1kg = 1000 g
Therefore 5kg = (5 x 1000)g

= 5000 g

Therefore 5kg = 5000 grams which is greater than 4800 grams
Answer: option B. 5 kilograms
