Examples with solutions for Weight Units

Exercise #1

7.8T=?kg 7.8T=?kg

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The letter T indicates a metric tonne,

One tonne is equivalent to one thousand kilograms,

Therefore, in 7.8 tons there are

1000*7.8 = 7800 kg

Answer

7800 7800

Exercise #2

555×200kg=?T \frac{55}{5}\times200\operatorname{kg}=?T

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

First, let's get rid of the fraction:

555=11 \frac{55}{5}=11

Now we have:

11×200kg 11\times200kg

Let's calculate and we get:

2200kg 2200kg

Note that we need the answer in tons, so:

T=1000kg T=1000kg

2200kg1000=2.2T \frac{2200kg}{1000}=2.2T

Answer

2.2

Exercise #3

xm=?km x_m=?km
