Question and options
A chocolate pack contains 25 boxes of chocolates. If each box weighs 20 gms, what is the total weight of the pack?
- 0.5 kg
- 500 kg
- 50 gms
- 5 kg
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A - 0.5 kg
The pack weighs 25 x 20 g = 500 g. Since 1 kg = 1,000 g, 500 g is 0.5 kg. 5 kg and 500 kg come from converting wrongly, and 50 g leaves out a factor of 10.
