Question

At science camp the kitchen served half of there blueberries with breakfast after dinner they put the remaining 5270 g of berries on top of their ice cream desert how many kilogram of blueberries did the science camp start with?

Answer 1

10.54 kg

Explanation:

Here, we are interested in calculating the amount in kilograms of blueberries the science camp started with.

Now let’s take a look at the question once again;

after serving half of the blueberries with breakfast, the amount of berries remaining is 5270 g

What this means is that 1/2 of the berries correspond to 5270 g and the other half too will be 5270 g

Thus, the total will be 5270g + 5270g = 10,540 g

Now the question asks us to calculate our answer in kilograms.

Mathematically, 1000g = 1kg

Thus 10,540 g = xkg

Thus x = (10 540 * 1)/1000 = 10.54 kg
