Question

Terrell needs the total weight of his backpack water jug and sleeping bag to be less than 11 kilograms. His backpack wights 9580 garms, his water jug is 1.25 kilograms, and his sleeping bag is 25000 milligrams. Dominic says that the total weight is 35.85 kg.

Is the total weight of the backpack water jug and sleeping bag less than or greater than 11 kilograms? By how many harm?

Answer 1

11kg=11,000g
1.25kg=1,250g
25,000mg=25g
9,580+1,250=10,830
10,830+25=10,855
11,000-10,855=145
The total weight is less than 11 kilograms by 145 grams.
