Step 1a

To find the weight of the apples in kilograms, you can subtract the weight of the mangoes from the total weight of the fruits.

Total weight of fruits: 12 kg 750 g

Weight of mangoes: 6 kg 860 g

Explanation: Here, we know the total weight of fruits.

Step 1b

Now, subtract the weight of the mangoes from the total weight of the fruits:

Weight of apples = Total weight of fruits - Weight of mangoes

First, consider the kilograms: 12 kg - 6 kg = 6 kg

Explanation: Here, we find out the weight of apples.

Step 1c

Next, consider the grams: 750 g - 860 g

Since 860 g is greater than 750 g, you’ll need to borrow 1 kilogram (which is equivalent to 1000 grams) from the kilograms. So, you have: 6 kg - 1 kg = 5 kg

(750 g + 1000 g) - 860 g = 890 g

Explanation: Here, we find out the weight of apples.

Step 1d

Now, combine the kilograms and grams: 5 kg 890 g

So, the weight of the apples is 5.890 kilograms.

Explanation: Here, we combine and convert g to kgs.
