Question

Allison purchased 2.12 kilograms of food pellets for the animals in the petting zoo. Allison gave 177 grams of food pellets to the rabbits and 276 grams to the chickens. She gave 0.1 kilogram of pellets to the ducks and 619 grams to the goats. Allison gave all of the remaining food to the calves. How many grams of food pellets did Allison give to the calves?

Answer 1

Answer: 948 grams

Explanation:

Kilograms of food purchased = 2.12 kilograms = 2120 grams

Number of grams of food pellets to the rabbits = 177

Number of grams given to the chickens = 276

Number of grams of pellets given to the ducks = 0.1kg = 100 grams

Number of grams given to the goats = 619

Then, grams of food pellets that Allison give to the calves will be:

= 2120 - (177 + 276 + 100 + 619)

= 2120 - 1172

= 948 grams

Therefore, the grams of food pellets that Allison give to the calves is 948 grams.

Note that 1000 grams = 1 kilogram
