Question

If one feather weighs 700 milligrams, how much will 37 identical feathers weigh plus the basket they are placed in which weighs 49 grams?

Answer 1

25,900 milligrams, but if the basket is included it would be 74,900 milligrams.

Answer 2

Answer:
`74.9\text{ grams}`

Explanation:

Given: The weight of one feather = 700 milligrams

Then the weight of 37 identical feathers =
`37*700` milligrams

Thus, the weight of 37 identical feathers =
`25900` milligrams

We know that, 1 gram = 1000 milligrams

Then, 1 milligram =
`(1)/(1000)` gram

`25900\text{ milligrams}=(25900)/(1000)=25.9\text{ grams}`

Now, the weight of 37 identical feathers plus the basket =
`25.9+49=74.9\text{ grams}`
