Question

How many kg do 4 quintals make ?\[\]

Answer 1

Hint: The mass of 1 quintal is equal to 100 kg, 45.36kg, 48.85kg, 46kg, 58.75kg in the countries India, England, France, Spain and Portugal respectively. We find how kg do 4 quintals make by multiply 4 for each country.\[\]

Complete step by step answer:
We know that kilogram is abbreviated as kg SI(International system of units ) unit of mass. The kilogram is currently defined on seconds and meters using the Planck’s constant as approved by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM). \[\]
1 quintal otherwise known as centener is 100 base units of mass which varies from country to country. The base units of countries like India and Russia is kilogram while the base unit of England is pound. \[\]
So in India 1 quintal is 100 base units or 100 kilograms . So 4 quintal is equal to $4\times 100=400$ kilograms. So in India 400 kilograms make 4 quintals.
The base unit of mass in England is pound which is approximately .4536 kilogram. So 1 quintal in England is equal to $0.4536\times 100=45.36$. Then 4 quintal is equal to $45.36\times 4=181.44$kilograms. So in England 181.44 kgs make 4 quintals. \[\]
1 quintal is the traditional unit in France where 1 quintal is 48.95kg. We can find the amount of kgs in 4 quintal as $4\times 48.95=195.8$. So in France the 195.8 kgs make 4 quintals.\[\]
1 quintal also is the traditional unit in Spain where 1 quintal is 46kg. We can find the amount of kgs in 4 quintal as $4\times 46=184$. So in Spain the 184 kgs make 4 quintals. \[\]
 1 quintal also is the traditional units Portugal where 1 quintal is 58.75 kg. We can find the amount of kgs in 4 quintal as $4\times 58.75=235$. So in Portugal the 235 kgs make 4 quintals. \[\]

Note: The quintals are used to measure weight of the crops. Another unit to measure a very large amount of weight is ton which is 1000 times the base unit or 1000 kilograms though it also varies from country to country.
