You went to buy rice from a shop. When the shopkeeper was weighing the rice, he balanced the rice bag with 5 kg, 500 gm, 250 gm and 100 gm weights. What is the weight of rice (in kg) you bought?
5.85 kg
The amount of rice you purchased is equal to the total weights used.
We know that, 1 kg = 1000 gm
5 kg = 5000 gm
Total weight = (5000 + 500 + 250 + 100) = 5850 gm
1 gm = 0.001 kg
5850 gm = 5850 × 0.001 = 5.850 kg = 5.85 kg
