The mass of a pie of sand was 5 kg,612g of the sand was removed what was the mass of sand left in the pile express your answer in kg show working

Answer 1

To find the mass of sand left in the pile, we first need to convert 5 kg to grams:

5 kg = 5000 g

Then, we subtract the 612g that was removed from the pile:

5000 g - 612 g = 4388 g

Finally, we convert the remaining mass back to kg:

4388 g = 4.388 kg

Therefore, the mass of sand left in the pile is 4.388 kg.
