The correct Answer is:
To find the weight of the empty bag, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the weights of fruits and vegetables into kilograms. - **Fruits**: Suman purchased 5 kg 75 g of fruits. - Convert 75 g to kg: \[ 75 \text{ g} = \frac{75}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.075 \text{ kg} \] - Therefore, the total weight of fruits in kg is: \[ 5 \text{ kg} + 0.075 \text{ kg} = 5.075 \text{ kg} \] - **Vegetables**: Suman purchased 3 kg 465 g of vegetables. - Convert 465 g to kg: \[ 465 \text{ g} = \frac{465}{1000} \text{ kg} = 0.465 \text{ kg} \] - Therefore, the total weight of vegetables in kg is: \[ 3 \text{ kg} + 0.465 \text{ kg} = 3.465 \text{ kg} \] ### Step 2: Add the weights of fruits and vegetables. - Now, we add the weight of fruits and vegetables: \[ 5.075 \text{ kg} + 3.465 \text{ kg} = 8.540 \text{ kg} \] ### Step 3: Find the weight of the empty bag. - We know that the total weight of the bag with its contents is 9 kg. To find the weight of the empty bag, we subtract the total weight of fruits and vegetables from the total weight: \[ \text{Weight of the bag} = 9 \text{ kg} - 8.540 \text{ kg} = 0.460 \text{ kg} \] ### Step 4: Convert the weight of the bag to grams. - To convert 0.460 kg to grams: \[ 0.460 \text{ kg} = 0.460 \times 1000 \text{ g} = 460 \text{ g} \] ### Final Answer: The weight of the empty bag is **460 grams**. ---
