Shamim and Rehan observed someone buying sugar weighing 5 kg 50 g. They thought of the quantity in grams. How much is it? Shamim says 5,050 g. Rehan says No, it is 5,500 g. Who do you think is right and why?

Correct Answer

Shamim is correct.

Given: 5 kg 50 g

Step 1: Convert kg to grams. 5 kg = 5×15 \times 1,000 g = 5,000 g

Step 2: Add the remaining grams. 5,000 g + 50 g = 5,050 g

Step 3: Verify Rehan's answer. 5,500 g = 5 kg 500 g (incorrect conversion)

∴ 5 kg 50 g = 5,050 g

Shamim is correct.

Explanation

The chapter explains conversion between kg and g. When converting 5 kg 50 g to grams, first convert kg to g: 5 kg = 5×15 \times 1,000 = 5,000 g. Then add the remaining grams: 5,000 g + 50 g = 5,050 g. Rehan made an error by treating 50 g as 500 g.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Convert 5 kg to grams: 5×15 \times 1,000 = 5,000 g

  2. Step 2: Add the remaining grams: 5,000 g + 50 g = 5,050 g

  3. Step 3: Therefore, 5 kg 50 g = 5,050 g, not 5,500 g
