Question

The mass of a large adult male hippo is about 1,850,000 grams and the mass of a large adult female is about 1,525,000 grams. What is the difference, in kilograms, between the masses of the adult male and female hippos

Answer 1

1850000g(kg/1000g)-1525000g(kg/1000g)

1850kg-1525kg

325kg

Answer 2

Answer:

325 Kg is the difference in masses of the hippos.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of the large adult male hippo is about 1850000 grams.

Since 1000 grams = 1 Kilograms

So weight of the large adult male hippo will be = $\frac{1850000}{1000}$ = 1850 Kg

Similarly mass of adult female hippo = 1525000 grams

mass in Kilograms = $\frac{1525000}{1000}=1525 Kg$

Now difference in their masses = 1850 - 1525 = 325 Kg

Therefore, difference between the masses of male and female hippos is 325 Kg.
