Question

An apple has a mass of 297 grams. How many kilograms is this? (Note: You can use the information in the table below to make a conversion factor.)

Answer 1

Answer: 0.297 grams.

Explanation: the conversion factor between kilograms and grams is:

1 kg=1000 g

applying this factor to the given mass of an apple, we have:

$297 grams *\frac{1 kg}{1000 grams}$

as we can see, we just have to divide by 100 so:

297 grams= 0.297 kg.

Answer 2

.297 kilograms
297g x 1 kg/100 g = .297
