Answer:

1.41 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the arithmetic operations:


1.61kg-200g

Before we subtract, the two values must be in the same unit.

First, convert 200 g to kg.


\begin{gathered} 1000g=1\operatorname{kg} \\ 200g=(200)/(1000)kg=0.2\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}

So, we have:


\begin{gathered} 1.61kg-200g \\ =1.61kg-0.2kg \\ =1.41\operatorname{kg} \end{gathered}
