Gayathri bought $1\ kg$ of birthday cake. She shared $450\ g$ with her friends. The weight of cake remaining is $650\ g$.

  1. True

  2. False
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Subtracting the shared portion from the total mass, 1 kg is equal to 1000 g. Subtracting 450 g leaves 1000 minus 450, which equals 550 g, not 650 g. Thus, the statement is false.
