Answer 1

Answer:  1.0 kilograms.

Explanation:

One kilogram is equal to a thousand grams.

Supposing x to be the number of kilograms equal to one thousand and eight grams, we can write it as:

1 kg = 1000 grams

x kg = 1008 grams

To solve for x, we can simply divide 1008 grams by 1000 thousand grams to get the answer.

x = 1008 / 1000

x = 1.008

Rounding this value to the nearest tenth, it will become 1.0 kilograms.
