Question

First one gram equals 1000 grams, so a 39 kilogram equals 39000 grams. Then, 1000 pillows times 300 equals a 39 kilogram sofa. Is my answer correct?

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

Kilogram is the unit of weight. Kilogram is the measure of how much matter or the mass an object has in it. Kilogram is the bigger unit of measurement while gram and milligram are the smaller units to measure the weight of any object.

We know,

1 kilogram = 1000 gram x 1

So, 1000 gram is equal to 1 kilogram

That means, 39,000 gram is equal to 39 kilogram.

In the question it is asked whether 1000 pillows times 300 is equal to 39 kilogram sofa or not.

The answer is not correct, because we do not know the weight of the 1000 pillows.

And also, 1000 x 300 will give you 300,000 and not 39 kilogram or 39,000 grams.
