Answer 1

Given that:

Amount of sand filled in each bag = 2 kg 450 g

Then:

Amount of sand filled in two bags

`\begin{gathered} =2\cdot(2kg\text{ 450g)} \\ =4kg\text{ 900g} \end{gathered}`

Since 1000 g = 1 kg, 4 kg 900 g is 100 grams less than 5 kg. So, the mass of 2 bags less than 5 kilograms.
