When I go and do my grocery shopping, lots of fruit and vegetables are sold and charged by the gram or kilogram.

Look at the table of the ‘Average Weights and vegetables’ to solve problems. Remind students to only look at the first and last columns ie the name of the fruit or veg and the weight in grams or kg.
