Question

In 2009, the world's largest pumpkin weighed 784 kilograms. An average-sized pumpkin weighs 5,000 grams. The 2009 world-record pumpkin weighs _____ kilograms more than an average-sized pumpkin. Please provide the solution below.

Answer 1

First you need to convert grams into kilograms. You know that 1kg=1000g
if 1kg=................. 1000g
   x kg=.................5000g

x=5000/1000 = 5kg
Now you need to find the difference between an average-sized pumpkin and the world's largest pumpkin which is:
784-5=779

So the right answer is 779.
