For this case we have to by definition:

1 kg equals 1000 grams

Shark 1:

405 kg and 68 grams


405 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1kg} = 405,000 grams

Thus, shark 1 weighs 405,068 grams.

Shark 2:

324 kg and 75 grams


324 kg * \frac {1000 g} {1 kg} = 324,000 grams

Thus, shark 2 weighs 324,075 grams.

Subtracting we have:


405.068 grams-324.075 grams = 80.993 grams

Thus, shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.

Answer:

Shark 1 weighs 80,993 grams more than the second.
