Word Problems on Subtraction of Weights

1. A box contains 4 bags of sugar. The total weight of all 4 bags is 6 kg 380 grams. What is the weight of the box in grams?

Solution:

Weight of the box = 6 kg 380 g

6 kg 380 g = 6 × 1000 g + 380 g

                 = 6000 g + 380 g

                 = 6380 g

So, weight of the box in grams is 6380 g.

 

2. Sophia bought 26 kg 380 g of wheat. She used 5 kg 433 g to make wheat flour. How much wheat is left with her?

Solution:

Weight of wheat = 26 kg 380 g

Wheat she used to make flour = 5 kg 433 g

Subtraction of Weights

Wheat left with her = 26 kg 380 g – 5 kg 433 g

                             = 20 kg 947 g
