A keeper had 1216 kg of sugar. It was packed in 100 g packages. How many packages were obtained altogether?
Answer (2)
The keeper can obtain 12160 packages of sugar from 1216 kg when each package weighs 100 g. This is calculated by converting kilograms to grams and then dividing by the package weight. The math shows that 1216 kg is equal to 1216000 g, which results in 12160 packages.

To solve this problem, you need to find out how many 100 g packages can be obtained from 1216 kg of sugar.
Step 1: Convert kilograms to grams.
Since 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, you need to convert 1216 kg to grams:
1216 kg × 1000 g/kg = 1 , 216 , 000 g
Step 2: Calculate the number of 100 g packages.
Now that you have the total amount in grams (1,216,000 g), divide by the size of each package (100 g):
100 g/package 1 , 216 , 000 g = 12 , 160 packages
Therefore, 12,160 packages of 100 g each can be obtained from 1216 kg of sugar.
