kilograms. He also buys a cantaloupe that

difference in grams?

Answer 1

The watermelon weighs 2,500 grams more than the cantaloupe.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Watermelon= 5kg

Cantaloupe= 2,500 grams

We know that 1 kilogram equals 1,000 grams.

First, we need to determine the weight of the watermelon in grams.

Watermelon= 5*1,000= 5,000 grams

Now, the difference:

Difference= 5,000 - 2,500

Difference= 2,500 grams

The watermelon weighs 2,500 grams more than the cantaloupe.
