Answer:

The 2009 world-record pumpkin weighs 1720 kilograms more than an average-sized pumpkin.

Step-by-step explanation:

In 2009, the world's largest pumpkin weighed 1,725 kilograms.

An average-sized pumpkin weighs 5,000 grams.

As the answer is needed in kilograms, we will convert 5000 grams in kilograms.

1 gram = 0.001 kilogram

So, 5000 grams = [tex]5000\times0.001[/tex] =5 kilograms.

Difference between weigh = [tex]1725-5=1720[/tex] kilograms

So, the 2009 world-record pumpkin weighs 1720 kilograms more than an average-sized pumpkin.
