She will need to buy 9 kg of watermelon.

150g(16) = 9000 g that she needs; each kilogram is 1000 grams:
9000/1000 = 9

we are given

One serving of watermelon weigh about 150 grams

watermelon required by one person =150 g

total number of persons =60

total amount of watermelon = total number of persons*watermelon required by one person

total amount of watermelon=
60*150g

total amount of watermelon=
9000g

we know that


1000g=1kg

we can write as

total amount of watermelon=
9*1000g

we can replace 1000g as 1kg

total amount of watermelon=
9 kg...........Answer
