Question

Celeste ordered a pack with 7 pens and 1 stapler. Each pen weighed 7 grams. The stapler weighed 486 grams. How many kilograms did the order weigh? Note: 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams

Answer 1

Answer: 0.535kilogram

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Celeste ordered a pack with 7 pens and 1 stapler and that each pen weighed 7 grams while the stapler weighed 486 grams.

The weight of the order will then be:

= 7 pens + 1 stapler

= 7(7 grams) + 1(486 grams)

= 49 grams + 486 grams

= 535 grams

To convert grams to kilogram,, we have to divide by 1000. This will be:

= 535/1000

= 0.535kilograms

The order weigh 0.535kilograms
