Question

A costume designer bought 1.4 kg of colorful sequins. She used 250 g of sequins to make a crown and 400 g to make a cape. How many grams of sequins were left?

Answer 1

750 grams

Explanation:

Change 1.4 kg to grams

`1.4 kg xx 1000 g/( kg )= 1400 g`

Now add the grams used

`250 g + 400 g = 650 g`

Now subtract the grams used from the total

`1400 g- 650 g= 750 g`
