Convert to smaller units (g and kg) - Questions
1. Convert.
\(\text {7 kilograms}=\) ____ \(\text {grams}\)
| Conversions | ||
| 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters | 1 minute =60 seconds | 1 liter =1,000 milliliters |
| 1 meter =100 centimeters | 1 hour =60 minutes | 1 kilogram =1,000 grams |
| 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters | 1 gram =1,000 milligrams | |
| 1 centimeter =10 millimeters |
2. Compare using \( > , < \), or \(=\).
\(\text{7 kilograms}\) \( > , < , = \) \(\text{60,000 grams}\)
| Conversions | ||
| 1 kilometer = 1,000 meters | 1 minute =60 seconds | 1 liter =1,000 milliliters |
| 1 meter =100 centimeters | 1 hour =60 minutes | 1 kilogram =1,000 grams |
| 1 meter = 1,000 millimeters | 1 gram =1,000 milligrams | |
| 1 centimeter =10 millimeters |
3. Convert.
\(\text {_______ grams}=\) ____ \( \frac{5}{2} \, \text {kilograms}\)
| Conversions | ||
