2. Bed – 60 kg 
3. Rice Bag – 5 kg 
5. Bucket – 1 kg 800 g 
6. Water Bottle – 650 g

Let Us Do

a 600g 
b 1kg 800g 
c 2kg 500g 
d 2kg 600g 
e 150g 
f 600g

Different Units but Same Measure

1 
5 kg = 5,000 g 
5 kg 50 g = 5,000 g + 50 g = 5050 g 
So, Shamim is right.

2 
(a) 7 kg 67g → 7000 + 67 = 7067 g 
(b) 3 kg 300g → 3000 + 300 = 3300 g 
(c) 8 kg 69 g → 8000 + 69 = 8069 g 
(d) 10000 + 760 → 10 kg 760 g 
(e) 4000 + 80 → 4 kg 80 g 
(f) 12000 + 42 → 12 kg 42 g

Comparison between Different Weights

(a) Watermelon (3 kg - highest) 
(b) Apples (1 kg 250 g - lowest) 
(c) Watermelon, Mangoes, Pineapple, Apples

2

(a) 1 kg 600 g < 1,700 g 
(b) 1 kg 600 g > 1 kg 60 g 
(c) 10 kg 35 g = 10035 g 
(d) 1 kg 600 g < 2 kg 500 g 
(e) 5 kg 50 g > 4 kg 500 g 
(f) 900 g + 7,000 g = 7 kg + 900 g

Milligram Let Us Find

1 5000 mg

2 
1000 mg - 1 g 
5000 mg - 5 g 
12000 mg - 12 g 
20000 mg - 20 g 
25000 mg - 25 g 
31000 mg - 31 g

3 4100 mg

4 10500 mg

5

(a) 20 g > 200 mg 
(b) 16 g 50 mg < 50 g 16 mg 
(c) 2,010 mg < 2 g 100 mg 
(d) 9,000 mg < 90 g 
(e) 5,000 g < 7,500 g 
(f) 800 mg + 88 mg = 880 mg + 8 mg

6 
5,000 × 40 = 2,00,000 kg

7

(a) 5000 kg = 50 quintals = 5 tonne 
(b) 90 quintals 
(c) 8000 kg = 8 tonnes

King’s Weight

(a) 800 ÷ 10 = 80 kg 
(b) 780 ÷ 10 = 78 kg

1 l 600 ml 
1 l 500 ml 
0 l 700 ml 
2 l 100 ml

Different Units but Same Measure

1 
Mary is correct, 
1 l = 1000 ml 
1000 ml + 400 ml =1400 ml
