To find the total weight of the toffees in the box, we'll perform two main calculations: first, we'll calculate the total weight in grams, and then we'll convert that total weight from grams to kilograms.
Step 1: Calculate total weight in grams.
Since each toffee weighs 5 grams, we can calculate the total weight of the toffees by multiplying the number of toffees by the weight of each toffee:
Total weight in grams = Number of toffees x Weight per toffee
Total weight in grams = 40000 toffees x 5 grams/toffee
Total weight in grams = 200000 grams
Step 2: Convert grams to kilograms.
There are 1000 grams in a kilogram. To convert the total weight from grams to kilograms, we need to divide the total weight in grams by 1000:
Total weight in kilograms = Total weight in grams / Conversion factor
Total weight in kilograms = 200000 grams / 1000 grams/kg
Total weight in kilograms = 200 kg
Therefore, the total weight of the 40000 toffees is 200000 grams, or equivalently, 200 kilograms.
