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.

With round off you are correct.
