Solved Example:

Subtract 4 kg 305 g from 6 kg 420 g.

Solution:

          kg       g

          6      4 2 0

      -  4      3 0 5 

          2      1 1 5 


Subtract grams first and then the kilograms.

Therefore, 6 kg 420 g - 4 kg 305 g = 2 kg 115 g.

1. Find the difference after converting into grams:

(i) 450 g from 5 kg

(ii)  7 kg 200 g from 15 kg  5 kg 730 g from 8 kg 840 g

(iii) 5 kg 730 g from 8 kg 840 g

(iv)  19 kg 250 g from 20 kg

(v) 22 kg 275 g from 50 kg 185 g

(vi) 37 kg 400 g from 40 kg 275 g


2. Subtract the following without conversion:

(i) 27 kg 260 g – 17 kg 150 g

(ii) 38 kg 000 g – 36 kg 360 g

(iii) 9 kg 135 g – 4 kg 684 g

(iv) 88 kg 356 g – 39 kg 769 g

(v) 98 kg 003 g – 5 kg 368 g

(vi) 69 kg 056 g – 35 kg 936 g

(vii) 12 kg 500 g – 9 kg 700 g

(viii) 28 kg 235 g – 9 kg 468 g
