Question

Bernard had a 2.2kg sack of sugar. He used 750g of sugar in a recipe. How many kilograms of sugar are left?

Answer 1

1.45kg of Sugar is left.

Explanation:

First we have to make sure that both the values are represented in same units.

Lets convert 2.2kg to grams.

1 kilo gram is 1000 grams, So

2.2 kilo grams is,
`2.2*1000` grams. Which is equal to 2,200g.

So Bernard had 2,200g of sugar and he used 750g of it.

To find the remaining amount of sugar we need to deduct 750g from 2,200g.

`2200-750=1450`

Therefore,

1450g of Sugar is left.

But the Answer should be given in kilo grams as the question requires you to do so.

So, convert grams to kilo grams you have to divide by 1000.

`(1450)/(1000) =1.45` kilo grams.

1.45kg of Sugar is left.
