## Step 1The problem provides the the world's largest pumpkin in 2009, which is 784 kilograms. It also provides the weight of an average-sized pumpkin, which is 5,000 grams. However, the weights are not in the same unit, so we need to convert the weight of the average-sized pumpkin to kilograms.### **1 kilogram = 1000 grams**## Step 2To convert the weight of the average-sized pumpkin from grams to kilograms, we divide the weight in grams by 1000.### **Weight in kilograms = **## Step 3Substitute the given weight of the average-sized pumpkin (5000 grams) into the formula.### **Weight in kilograms = kilograms**## Step 4Now that we have the weights of both the world's largest pumpkin and an average-sized pumpkin in the same unit (kilograms), we can find the difference by subtracting the weight of the average-sized pumpkin from the weight of the world's largest pumpkin.### **Difference in weight = Weight of world's largest pumpkin - Weight of average-sized pumpkin**## Step 5Substitute the given weights into the formula.### **Difference in weight = 784 kilograms - 5 kilograms = 779 kilograms**
