Answer: there are 200 nickels in 1 kilogram of nickels

Explanation:

For this case we must take into account the following conversion:

1Kg = 1000 g

Therefore, we can make the following rule of three:

5 grams ---------> 1 nickel

1000 grams ----> x

Clearing x we have:

x = (1000/5) * (1)

x = 200 nickels
