Hey everyone. Our problem is requiring us to convert calories into killer jewels and we've learned that per one calorie we have 4184 jewels. And we can go ahead and use this to answer our question. Now, starting off with 1,869 calories, we determine that per one calorie we have 4184 jewels. And since you want to convert this into kilo jewels, We know that we have 10 to the third jewels per one kill a jewel. And when we calculate this out, we end up with a value of 7819.9 kg jewels, Which we can round up to 7820 kg jewels. And this is going to be our final answer. So I hope this made sense and let us know if you have any questions.
