The weight of 1 biscuit packet is 250 gms, hence the weight of 8 packs is 250 × 8 =2000 gms. Since 100 gms = 1 kg, 2000 gms = 2000 ÷ 100 = 2 kgs : )
The answer is correct, though the setup isn't. Unfortunatly that's not a way to get the solution. There are 1000 G in 1 KG, NOT 100. The reason you got the correct answer is because you divided incorrectly. 2000/100 = 20, not 2.
You are an idiot
250g=0,25kg
0,25kg x 8 = 2kg
Just a typo, you have written 0.25 kg as 0,25 kg. @Nada Marcha

I think that's the european way of writing it
250g =0.25kg 8 packs x 0.25 = 2kg
what is the right answer of this question. 2 kg IS it Wrong?
250 grams so for one kilogram is 250/1000 because you need to find for one kg, = 0.25 therefore 0.25*8 is 2.00 kgs :D
Typically 250gm is 0.25 kg, thus 0.25x8 = 2.00 kg
Multiple 250x8 divided by 1000
250g x 8 = 2000g and 2000g = 2 kg
Kilo=1000. 250×8=2000 2000g=2kilograms
1 packet biscuit = 250 grams = 0.25 kg amout of pack = 8
so just 0.25 x 8 = 2kg
1000 g = 1 kg => 1g = 1/1000 kg. Now 1 box weighs 250 g. 8 boxes will weigh = 8×250 g= (8×250)÷1000 = 250/125 = 2 kg
1 pack = 250 grams
8 packs = ? kilograms
Now, 8 packs x (250 grams / 1 pack) = 2,000 grams
But then again, the problem asks for the value in kilograms!
Since 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams,
therefore 2,000 grams x (1 kilogram / 1,000 grams) = 2 kilograms
The weight of 1 biscuit pack is 250g,so the weight of 8 biscuit packs=250*8=2000g.1000g=1kg so 2000g =2000/1000=2 kg.
heh first of all update a question which says something like how in terms we should write the answer wither in grams or kilograms .
250 grams is equal to 0.25 kg, then it says that there are 8 biscuit pack so 0.25 grams, so 0.25 kg X 8 =2 kg.
250 gramas pesa 1 pacote. 4 pacotes pesam 1 Kg. sendo assim 8 pacotes pesam 2 Kg.
250 gm x 8 = 2000 gm
1000 gm = 1 Kg
converted into Kg 2000/1000 = 2 Kg
Wt. of 8 packets=8.250 gms=2000 gms=2 kg So number of kg is 2
8 x 250 gram = 2000 grams x 1 kg/(1000 grams) = 2 kg
1 kg = 1000 grams
1 biscut packet = 250gm.. therfore 8 packets= 250x8=2000gm=2kgm
I tend to think of 250g as a "quarter of a kg." 8 quarters would be 2kg. Of course, in the USA we're still on English weights & measures. I don't know in the metric world whether people use or think of a "quarter of a kg" as I would think of a "quarter of a pound." Few would say in everyday conversation, "4 ounces," even though that is a "quarter pound." Or, do people simply say, "250g?"
No, yes... it´s ok both way´s, in Swedish :-)
2.5 4=10-->2.5 8=20 and 250gr = 0.25kg --> 0.25*8=2 don't use calculator!
In problems that deal with quantity, and conversion, such as this one, it doesn't matter which you convert first. You can convert the biscuit pack's weight directly to the unit you're looking for (G to KG). When 1000 G is equal to 1 KG, than 250 G will be equal to 0.25 KG. (You can solve this buy cross multiplication: 1000 G/1 KG = 250 G/x KG, then 1000x = 250 G) After you've found the KG mass of one biscuit pack, multiply it by eight to obtain the value of all 8 packs.
8*250=2000
we know that,,,, 1kg=1000gm......
so ,2000gram=2kg
btw, who added the picture?
There are 8 packs OF 250 grams each, so you multiply 8*250. Divide this by 1000 to get the number of kilograms
2 5 0 ∗ 8 = 2 , 0 0 0 grams
As an American, I had to use the old mnemonic King Henry Died By Drinking Chocolate Milk (KHDBDCM).
K is kilograms, so you have to move the decimal point from (KHDB.) to (K.HDB), which translates into (2000.) to (2.000), which is, quite obviously, equal to 2!
So 2 is the answer!
Robert - I'm an American, too, but FAR older than you! I had never heard of the the King Henry mnemonic you mentioned! Back in the 1975 under the Carter administration, the "Metric Conversion Act" was adopted but we know how well that worked (it didn't) and eventually in 1982 the US Metric Board was disbanded under Reagan to save money and because it was apparently "ineffective."
Now, I travel frequently to Canada where they use an odd mixture of metric and English measures. It might be 25C outside but a child can have a temperature of 101F. A sheet of plywood is 4' x 8' but its thickness is measured in "mils."
I don't mind metric but there are some oddities to me. Temperature is not as precise. There is only 100 divisions between freezing/boiling point of water vs. 180 (212F minus 32F) with Fahrenheit.
The oddest to me is MPG - Miles Per Gallon. Instead of reporting how many miles (or km) I would get from a liter of gasoline, instead they report how many liters it takes to go 100 km. Why? Why would I ever want to know that? My gas tank holds 20 gallons. I get 25mpg. So, I can go 500 miles before I need to fill-up again. I don't buy an amount of gas based upon the distance of the trip. I fill up the tank every time. Therefore, I need to know range.
Anyway, I find that whole measurement rather odd by American standards.
Good luck - glad to see young people are involved in the Brilliant website!

I agree with you me neither want too know 100km, I want to know petrol by one metric mile= 10 km.
But I prefer metric standard (surprise...)

250 * 8 = 2000 and 1000 gram = 1 kilogram so answer should come 2
