Answer 1

Hint: In this question, we have to find the percent of 600 grams of 5 kg. the units of both the quantities are different. So, first we will convert them into the same unit. We will convert 5 kg in grams. 1 kg is equal to 1000 grams. So, 5 kg will be equal to 5 multiplied 1000 grams.

Complete step-by-step answer:
We need to calculate the percent of 600 gram of 5 kg.
First, we will discuss the concept of percentage. percentage is a number or ratio that can be expressed as a fraction of 100. The word percent means per 100. It is represented by the symbol ‘x’. To determine the percentage, we have to divide the value by the total value and then multiply the resultant to 100.
Percentage formula $ = \dfrac{{{\text{value}}}}{{{\text{total value}}}} \times 100 $
 Now, we will convert 5 kg into grams.
 $ 1kg = 1000g $
We need to convert 5 kg, so we will multiply it by 5.
 $ 5kg = 1000 \times 5 $
 $ 5kg = 5000g $
Now, by using the percentage formula we will find the percent of 600 g of 5 kg.
 $ = \dfrac{{600}}{{5000}} \times 100 $
 $ = \dfrac{{60}}{5} $
 $ = 12\% $
So, 12 % is 600 gram of 5 kg.
So, the correct answer is “ 12 %”.

Note: In questions like this, always be careful with the units given of the quantities. In this case we converted kilogram into gram. It is not necessary to always convert kg into g, we can also convert g into kg. I kg is equal to 1000g. to convert g into kg we have to divide the term by 1000. Do not forget to use the percentage symbol while writing the final answer.
