A packet of turmeric powder weighs 75 g. Written in kilograms, this is:

Class 6DecimalsDecimals
  • A0.75 kg
  • B7.5 kg
  • C0.075 kg
  • D0.0075 kg

Step-by-Step Solution

1 kg = 1000 g, so 75 g = 75/1000 kg = 0.075 kg. Answering 0.75 kg puts the 75 over 100 instead of 1000, which would be 750 g — ten packets’ worth.
Answer: C) 0.075 kg

Key idea: Place value to the right of the decimal point

To the LEFT of the decimal point: ones, tens, hundreds — each place is **10 times** bigger than the one to its right. To the RIGHT of the decimal point, the same rule continues — each place is **10 times smaller** than the one to its left. So:

- 1st place after the point: tenths (1/10)
- 2nd place: hundredths (1/100)
- 3rd place: thousandths (1/1000)
