Question

If one feather weighs 700 milligrams, how much will 37 identical feathers weigh plus the basket they are placed in which weighs 49 grams?

Answer 1

25,900 milligrams, but if the basket is included it would be 74,900 milligrams.

Answer 2

Answer: $74.9\text{ grams}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of one feather = 700 milligrams

Then the weight of 37 identical feathers =$37\times700$ milligrams

Thus,  the weight of 37 identical feathers =$25900$ milligrams

We know that,  1 gram = 1000 milligrams

Then, 1 milligram =$\frac{1}{1000}$ gram

$25900\text{ milligrams}=\frac{25900}{1000}=25.9\text{ grams}$

Now, the weight of 37 identical feathers plus the basket =$25.9+49=74.9\text{ grams}$
