Question

A basket of grapes weighs 8kg 330 g .If the basket itself weighs 780g , what is the weight of the grapes

Answer 1

Answer:

7550g or 7kg 550g

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the provided information in the given question, we have :

• Weight of the baskets of grapes = 8kg 330g
• Weight of the basket = 780 g

We are asked to find the weight of grapes.

★ According to the question :

Total weight of both weight of the basket and weight of the grapes is 8kg 330g. Writing it as a equation,

⇒ Weight of the basket + Weight of the grapes = Total weight

⇒ 780g + Weight of the grapes = 8kg 330g

Before further solving the equation, let's change total weight into grams.

➝ 1kg = 1000g

➝ 8kg 330g = (8 × 1000)g + 330g

➝ 8kg 330g = 8000g + 330g

➝ 8kg 330g = 8330g

➝ Total weight = 8330g

Now, writing 8kg 330g as 8330g in the equation.

⇒ 780g + Weight of the grapes = 8330g

Transposing 780g from L.H.S to R.H.S. Since we are transposing, so the sign will change i.e +780 will become -780 in R.H.S

⇒ Weight of the grapes = 8330g – 780g

⇒ Weight of the grapes = 7550g

$\longrightarrow \underline{\boxed{\sf{Weight_{(Grapes)} = 7kg \; 550g}}}$

$\therefore$ Weight of the grapes is 7kg 550g.
