Question

Add the given quantities: 37kg150g, 46kg730g and 85kg100g.

Answer 1

Hint: Start by converting all the elements given in the question to the same unit system, preferably convert all the quantities to grams. Once you convert all the quantities to the same and uniform unit add them to get the answer. For conversion to grams you can use the fact that 1kg is equal to 1000 grams.

Complete step-by-step answer:
Let us start the solution to the above question by converting 37kg 150g to grams. We know that 1kg is equal to 1000 grams. Then we can say that 37kg150g is equal to $ 37\times 1000+150=37150grams $ .
Similarly, let us convert 46kg730g to grams. So, we can say that 46kg730g is equal to $ 46\times 1000+730=46730grams $ .
Again, we will use the same method to convert 85kg100g to grams. So, we can say that 85kg100g is equal to $ 85\times 1000+100=85100grams $ .
Now we will add all the three quantities to get the answer to the above question.
\[37150g+46730g+85100g=168980grams\]
If we convert it back to the form as the quantities given in the question, we get
\[168980grams=168000+980=168kg980gm\]
Therefore, we can conclude that the answer to the above question is 168kg980grams.

Note: It is preferred to convert the quantities to the smaller unit of the two units as this ensures that none of the numbers are in decimal form, simplifying the calculations. However, it is a good practice to report your final answer in the simplest form closest to the form of the quantities given in the question.
