Answer: 0.5 kilograms


Step-by-step explanation:


One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.


Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to 527 grams, we can write it as:


1 kg = 1000 grams


x kg = 527 grams


To solve for x, we can simply divide 527 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.


x = 527 / 1000


x = 0.527


Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 0.5 kilograms.

You get 0.54 but the calculated answer is 0.572.

So without round off you are wrong.

With round off you are correct.
