Question:

Jim has 19,700 g of sand in his sandbox. He brings home another 6,300 g of sand from the beach to add to his. How many kilograms of sand does Jim have in his sandbox now?

Answer:

The amount of kilogram of sand Jim now has in his sand box is 26.00 kg

Explanation:

The question relates to the method of addition or adding numbers.

Here, we note that the initial mass of sand in the sandbox = 19700 g

Added mass of sand to the sandbox = 6,300 g

Therefor the total mass of sand in the sand box is given by;

19,700 + 6,300 = 26,000 g

Therefore, the amount of kilogram of sand Jim now has in his sand box is 26,000 g which is equal to 26000/1000 = 26.00 kg.
