To calculate the total weight of the tins in the box, we first need to determine the total weight of the 25 tins, each weighing 250 grams.

  1. Calculate the total weight in grams: \[ \text{Total weight in grams} = \text{Number of tins} \times \text{Weight of each tin} = 25 \times 250 , \text{g} = 6250 , \text{g} \]

  2. Convert the total weight from grams to kilograms: \[ \text{Total weight in kg} = \frac{\text{Total weight in grams}}{1000} = \frac{6250 , \text{g}}{1000} = 6.25 , \text{kg} \]

Therefore, the total weight of the tins in the box is 6.25 kg.
