Question

If one paperclip has the mass of 1 gram and 1,000 paperclips have a mass of 1 kilogram, then the weight of 8,000 paperclips is _______________kilograms.

  1. 0.08kg    
  2. 800kg    
  3. 80kg    
  4. 8kg    

The correct answer is: 8kg


    We have, weight of 1000 paper clips = 1kg
    So, weight of 8000 paperclips = fraction numerator 8000 over denominator 1000 end fraction = 8 kg

    1 paperclip weighs 1 gm
    Weight of 8000 paperclips = 8000 x 1 gm = 8000 g = 8000 / 1000 kg = 8 kg.
