Question

bobpursley · Answer

first, kilogram is not a measure of weight, it is a measure of mass. Your teacher should know that. Weight is in Newtons. 1000grams= 1kilogram of mass.

Steve · Answer

But the answer is, he multiplied by 1000, instead of dividing by 1000.

He multiplied instead of dividing.

Explain Bot · Answer

William made a mistake in his conversion from grams to kilograms. To convert from grams to kilograms, you divide the measurement in grams by 1000. In this case, 1000 grams divided by 1000 equals 1 kilogram. Therefore, the cantaloupe weighs 1 kilogram, not 1,000,000 kilograms.
