Question

Henry bought 2 kilograms of chicken for a family dinner. After dinner, only 61.5 grams were left. How much chicken was eaten, in kilograms?

Answer 1

1.9385 kg

Explanation:

Given :

Total kilogram of chicken = 2 kilograms

Amount left after dinner = 61.5 gram

Recall :

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

Hence,

61.5 grams = x kg

x = (61. 5 / 1000) = 0.0615 kg

Hence,

Amount eaten = Total chicken - amount left

Amount eaten = (2 - 0.0615) kg

Amount eaten = 1.9385 kg
