Answer:

the total weight of the remaining five components in kilograms is roughly 14.178 kg.

Explanation:

1. divide the weight of the detergent in grams by 1000 to convert it to kilograms:

822 grams/1000 = 0.822 kilograms

2 .subtract the weight of the detergent from the total weight of all six things to obtain the weight of the other five items:

15 kilos - 0.822 kilograms = 14.178 kilograms.

As a result, the total weight of the remaining five components in kilograms is roughly 14.178 kg.

First Convert 15 kg to g

15kg × 1000 = 15000g

15000g - 822g = 14,178g

14178g ÷ 5 = 2,835.6g

Then convert the grams to kilograms

2,835.6g ÷ 1000 = 2.8356kg

2.8356kg × 5 = 14.178kg

Answer: 14.178kg
