Subtract 4317 g from 23 kg. Give the answer in kg.

To subtract quantities given in different units, first express both quantities in the same unit. Since 1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g), any gram value must be divided by 1000 to convert it to kilograms before subtracting.

1. Convert 4317 g to kilograms: 4317 ÷ 1000 = 4.317 kg.

2. Write 23 kg with three decimal places to match: 23 kg = 23.000 kg.

3. Subtract: 23.000 kg − 4.317 kg = 18.683 kg.

Add the result back to the quantity subtracted to verify: 18.683 kg + 4.317 kg = 23.000 kg, which equals the original quantity, confirming the subtraction is correct.
