Question

Jawad has seven rocks.

The total weight of all seven rocks is 5kilograms 6 of the rocks each have a weight of 720 grams.

Work out the weight, in grams of the other rock

Answer 1

680 grams.

So, it's telling us to calculate the weight, in grams, of the other rock.

So firstly,

6 of the rocks EACH have a weight of 720 grams.

So, 6 x 720 = 4320

Now save 4320 for later.

Next, we need to convert the 5 kilograms into grams.

So, 5 x 1000 = 5000

now do, 5000 - 4320 = 680.

Your final answer would then be = 680g

I hope this helped.
