\text{The total mass of the box in grams is 1,500 gm}


\bold{Solution:}


\text{Total number of Bags} = 4


\text{Total mass in 4 bags } = 6 \ \text{kg}


\text{Total mass in 1 bag}}=(6)/(4) \ \text{kg}


\bold{We \ know \ that}


\text{1 kg = 1000 gram}


\text{1 gm}= (1)/(1000) \ \text{kg}


\text{we have to convert} \ (6)/(4) \ \text{kg to grams}


(6)/(4) \ \text{kg} = (6)/(4) * 1000 \ \text{gm}


=1750 \ \text{gm}


\bold{So, \ the \ total \ mass \ of \ the \ box \ in \ grams \ is \ 1,500 \ gm}
