Laney bought some candy from the bulk food store. She bought a 290 gram bag of gummy worms, a 450 gram bag of sour keys, and 670 gram bag of chocolate covered almonds. What is the total weight in kilograms?

Answer 1

1.41 kilograms

Explanation:

Given data

290-gram bag of gummy worms

450-gram bag of sour keys

670-gram bag of chocolate-covered almonds

In all, she bought

=290+450+670

=1410grams of candy

Now let us convert from grams to kilograms

1000grams is equal to 1 kilogram

hence 1410 grams will be x

cross multiply

1000x= 1410

x= 1410/1000

x= 1.41 kilograms
