Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Part 1.

Given data:

Mass in grams = 527 g

Mass in kilograms = ?

Solution:

1 kilogram=1,000 grams

1 gram = 1/1000 kilograms

527 gram = 1/1000 * 527

527 grams = 0.527 kilogram

Round of answer: 00.5 kg

Part 2.

You get 0.54 but the calculated answer is 0.572.

So without round off you are wrong.

With round off you are correct.
