The kilo- prefix means 1000, so 1kg = 1000g
1/4 kg = 1/4 x 1000g
= 250g > 50g
So 1/4 kilogram is more weight than 50g.
50 grams is 1/20th (or 0.05) of a kilogram.
There are about 50 grams of sugar in a quarter cup of sugar.
If one kilogram equals 1,000 grams then 50 kilograms would equal 50,000 grams.
The weight of a single quarter is approximately 5.67 grams. To determine how many quarters are equal to 50 grams, you would divide 50 grams by the weight of a single quarter. This calculation would result in approximately 8.81 quarters, but since you cannot have a fraction of a quarter, you would have 8 quarters with a total weight of 45.36 grams.

A kilogram is a thousand grams; half a kilogram is therefore 500 grams, so if you have 450 grams, you are 50 grams short of half a kilogram.
1 kilogram = 1,000 grams
Mass. (Weight is also often expressed in grams or kilograms. This is wrong technically, and in our modern space-age, can lead one to a heap of trouble. For example: When asked the weight of one kilogram of mass, your friend might answer: "Naturally it weighs one kilogram. Duh!" He could get away with it for a while. But if that kilogram of mass were taken to the moon, then he would be faced with the uncomfortable and confusing realization that the same kilogram doesn't weigh a kilogram any more.)
Most big books weigh a kilogram (1000 grams). Chapter books weigh roughly half a kilogram, and children's books, 50 grams.
