MATHEMATICS 2

Mass

Fill in the blanks with the correct answers.

Question 1: Skill: Measuring and calculating mass

A mango weighs 4 2 kg 200 100 g.

2 mangoes weigh 4 kg 200 g.

So, 1 mango weighs 2 kg 100 g.
Question 2: Skill: Measuring and comparing different masses

(For questions 2 to 5, refer to the following diagram.)

The heaviest item weighs 3 kg 200 g.

Question 3: Skill: Measuring and comparing different masses

The bag of sugar weighs 2 kg 100 g heavier than the vase.

The bag of sugar weighs 3 kg 200 g.

The vase weighs 1 kg 100 g.

3 kg 200 g - 1 kg 100 g = 2 kg 100 g

Question 4: Skill: Multiple-step word problem

How much heavier are the bag of sugar and the vase as compared to the durian?

Answer: 2 kg 200 g

3 kg 200 g + 1 kg 100 g = 4 kg 300 g

Sugar and vase weigh 4 kg 300 g.

Durian weighs 2 kg 100 g.

4 kg 300 g - 2 kg 100 g= 2 kg 200 g

Question 5: Skill: Word problem

How much do the vase, durian and kitten weigh altogether?

Answer: 3 kg 900 g

1 kg 100 g + 2 kg 100 g + 700 g = 3 kg 900 g

Question 6: Skill: 2-Step word problem

If the apple weighs 150 g, how heavy is the durian?

Answer: 650 g

Durian and apple weigh 800 g.

Durian + 150 g = 800 g

Durian = 800 g - 150 g = 650 g
Question 7: Skill: Measuring mass

(For questions 7 to 10, refer to the diagram below.)

The mangoes weigh 4 2 kg.

2 mangoes + 1 kg = 3 kg
2 mangoes = 3 kg - 1 kg = 2 kg
Question 8: Skill: Measuring and calculating mass

A mango weighs 1 kg.

2 mangoes + 1 kg = 3 kg
2 mangoes = 3 kg - 1 kg = 2 kg

2 mangoes weigh 2 kg.

1 mango weighs 1 kg.
Question 9: Skill: Measuring and calculating mass

5 such mangoes weigh 5 kg.

2 mangoes + 1 kg = 3 kg
2 mangoes = 3 kg - 1 kg = 2 kg

5 mangoes weigh 5 kg.

Question 10: Skill: Measuring and comparing different masses

2 mangoes weigh the same as 3 apples.

2 mangoes + 1 kg = 3 kg
2 mangoes = 3 kg - 1 kg = 2 kg

2 mangoes weigh 2 kg.

3 apples weigh 2 kg.
So, 2 mangoes weigh the same as 3 apples.
