How many grams are in an eighth of a kilogram?
Solution:
There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram.
Set up the conversion so the desired unit will be cancelled out. In this case, we want g to be the remaining unit.
Mass in g = (mass in kg ) x (1000 g/1 kg)
Note how the kilograms unit will be cancelled out in this equation.
Mass in g = (1/8 kg) x 1000 g/kg
Mass in g = (0.125 kg) x 1000 g/kg
Mass in g = 125 g
Answer:
There are 125 grams in an eighth of a kg.
Answer: 1 kg is equal to 1000 grams. You must multiply the quantity in kgs by the conversion factor, which is 0.001.
Here, the m in the gm is equivalent to the mass (m) in kg x 1000.
So, the m of gram = the m of kg x 1000
So, 1 kg in grams will be 1 times 0.001, 1000 grams. So, the quantity in grams equals the amount in kg multiply 1000.
For example, if we convert 5 kg into grams, it will be 5000g which is 1000 x 5 kg.
First, note that kg is the same as kilograms and g is the same as grams. Thus, when you are asking to convert 1 kg to g, you are asking to convert 1 kilograms to grams.
A kilogram is larger than a gram. Simply put, kg is larger than g. In fact, a kilogram is "10 to the power of 3" larger than a gram.
Since a kilogram is 10^3 larger than a gram, it means that the conversion factor for kg to g is 10^3. Therefore, you can multiply 1 kg by 10^3 to get 1 kg converted to g.
Here is the answer with the math showing you how to convert 1 kg to g by multiplying 1 by the conversion factor of 10^3.
1 x 10^3
= 1000
1 kg
= 1000 g
