Math teachers: how to describe weight when answering simple story problems?
One of my friends in Taiwan asks me if students write down "3 kg 400 g" to stand for "3.4 kg" after calculating 1.9 kg plus 1.5 kg , is this describtion acceptable in English? My friend is a teacher and she wants to teach right. If you are an expert, please answer me with detailed explanation. Thank you!
