\n" ); document.write( "Convert each mixed number to decimal form
\n" ); document.write( "4 & 2/5 = 4.4
\n" ); document.write( "2 & 1/4 = 2.25
\n" ); document.write( "1/8 = 0.125
\n" ); document.write( "Each decimal value is exact, and no rounding has been done.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1 bag weighs 4.4 kg
\n" ); document.write( "3 identical bags weigh a total of 3*4.4 = 13.2 kg\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The restaurant used 2.25 kg of flour and spilled 0.125 kg.
\n" ); document.write( "The total amount of flour used or lost is 2.25+0.125 = 2.375 kg\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The amount remaining is 13.2 - 2.375 =10.825 kg\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have 10 full kg of flour left. Then 0.825 of an extra kg
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply this portion by 1000 to convert from kg to grams.
\n" ); document.write( "0.825 kg = 1000*0.825 = 825 grams\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore,
\n" ); document.write( "10.825 kg = 10 kg + 825 grams
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
