Measuring Weight Activity
Help plan a stall at a New Zealand community market. Use grams (g) and kilograms (kg) to compare, convert and calculate mass. Remember: 1 kg = 1,000 g. Show working for calculations.
Read the stall notes
Mere's stall has: a bag of kūmara weighing 2.4 kg; a box of apples weighing 1,650 g; a pumpkin weighing 3 kg; and a bag of feijoas weighing 850 g. The scale can measure up to 5 kg.
1.Which unit is most suitable for recording the mass of a single blueberry: grams or kilograms? Give one reason.
2.Convert the 2.4 kg bag of kūmara to grams.
3.Which is heavier: the apples or the feijoas? How much heavier are they?
4.Put the four items in order from lightest to heaviest. Write each mass in grams to compare them fairly.
5.Mere puts the pumpkin and feijoas together on the scale. What is their total mass in kilograms?
6.The scale has a 5 kg limit. Could Mere weigh all four items at once without exceeding it? Calculate the combined mass and explain.
7.A customer buys 750 g of apples from the 1,650 g box. How many grams of apples remain?
8.A recipe needs 1.25 kg of kūmara. Mere has 2.4 kg. How much more kūmara than the recipe needs does she have? Give your answer in grams.
9.True or false: 3,050 g is lighter than 3 kg. Correct the statement if it is false.
