Hey there! Today, we’re going to learn about measuring weight, which is super useful, especially when you’re gardening. Imagine you have some fertilizer or soil to put in your garden. Knowing how much it weighs can help you use the right amount to make your plants healthy.
In the world of weight, we often use different units. One common unit is the kilogram (kg), and another is the gram (g). To understand how they work together, here’s a neat fact:
1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. So, if we want to change 2 kilograms to grams, we use this equation:
$$
2 \, \text{kg} \times 1000 \, \text{g/kg} = 2000 \, \text{g}
$$
That means 2 kilograms is the same as 2000 grams! This is important to remember when you’re adding things to your garden.
Here are 7 examples of objects that weigh exactly 2 kilograms (2000 grams):
- A small bag of fertilizer
- A bottle of water (2 liters)
- A bag of sugar
- A large small watermelon
- A pound of rice (2 packs)
- A standard size dumbbell
- A box of cereal
Next time you’re in the garden, think about how much your supplies weigh, and remember that 2 kg equals 2000 g! Happy gardening! 🌱
