subtraCtion of Weight

Example 1: Subtract:

(a) 350 g from 900 g

(b) 17 kg from 30 kg

Solution: (a) (b)
8 10 2 10

9 0 0 g 3 0 kg
– 3 5 0 g – 1 7 kg
5 5 0 g 1 3 kg

Example 2: Subtract 14 kg 569 g from 21 kg 664 g.

Solution: Arrange the given measures in the two columns of ‘kg’ and ‘g’ and subtract
them as ordinary numbers.

Step 1: Subtract grams (g). kg g

664 g – 569 g = 95 g 15
1 11 5 5 14
Write 95 under the g column. 2 1 6 6 4

Step 2: Subtract kilograms (kg). – 1 4 5 6 9
7 0 9 5
21 kg – 14 kg = 7 kg

Write 7 under the kg column.

Thus, 21 kg 664 g – 14 kg 569 g = 7 kg 95 g
