Answer:

Cory served 500 grams of candy in each bowl.

Explanation:

4,500 = 4.50 kilograms

4.50kg - 1.00kg = 3.50kg

3.50kg ÷ 7kg = 0.50kg

0.50kg = 500g

Answer:

In each bowl, Cory put 500 grams of candy.

Explanation:

You would do 4,500 - 1 (since he save a kilogram for himself), which would equal 3,500.

Then, you would do 3,500 divided by 7 (since there are 7 bowls and he wants to split the remaining candy evenly), which would equal 500.
