Question

Angie's puppy weighed 3kg when she first got it.Two year later it weighed 9kg. How many grams did the puppy gain?

Answer 1

`6000g`

Explanation:

the weight gain is the difference between the weight of the dog after two years and its weight when Angie first got it.

weight after two years: `9kg`
initial weight: `3kg`

`9kg - 3kg = 6kg`

the puppy gained `6kg` over two years.

`1 kg = 1000g`

to convert kilograms `kg` into grams, multiply the number by `1000`.

`6 * 1000 = 6000`

`6kg = 6000g`
