Final answer:

Maya consumes 2.288kg of sugar in a year by eating two chocolate bars each week, each containing 22g of sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many kilograms of sugar Maya consumes in a year, you need to calculate the amount of sugar she consumes in a week and then multiply it by 52, the number of weeks in a year.

Maya eats two chocolate bars each week, and each bar contains 22g of sugar. So, in a week, she consumes 2 * 22 = 44g of sugar.

To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1000. Therefore, in a week, Maya consumes 44 / 1000 = 0.044kg of sugar.

Multiplying the weekly consumption by 52, we find that Maya consumes 0.044 * 52 = 2.288kg of sugar in a year.
