Answer
0.44 kg

The correct answer is 0.44 kg — Convert to kilograms: 440 g ÷ 1000 = 0.44 kg.

Step-by-step solution

  1. Weight of twigs = 30 × 12 g = 360 g.
  2. Weight of leaves = 10 × 8 g = 80 g.
  3. Total weight = 360 g + 80 g = 440 g.
  4. Convert to kilograms: 440 g ÷ 1000 = 0.44 kg.
Common mistake: Adding grams to kilograms directly
