Weight Units Practice Problems - Grams, Kilograms & Tons

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given information and conversion factor
• Step 2: Apply the conversion factor to obtain the result in grams

Let's work through these steps:
Step 1: We have $8.6 \, \text{kg}$ to convert to grams. Recall that $1 \, \text{kg}$ equals $1000 \, \text{grams}$.
Step 2: Multiply the given kilograms by the conversion factor to convert to grams:
$8.6 \, \text{kg} \times 1000 \, \text{grams/kg} = 8600 \, \text{grams}$

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $8600 \, \text{grams}$.

To solve this problem of converting kilograms to grams, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the given weight in kilograms.
• Step 2: Use the conversion factor $1 \text{ kg} = 1000 \text{ g}$.
• Step 3: Perform the necessary multiplication.

Let's go through these steps in detail:
Step 1: We have been given a weight of $7$ kilograms.
Step 2: Recall that $1 \text{ kilogram} = 1000 \text{ grams}$.
Step 3: Multiply the number of kilograms by the conversion factor: $7 \text{ kg} \times 1000 \text{ g/kg} = 7000 \text{ g}$ This calculation confirms that $7$ kilograms is equivalent to $7000$ grams.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $7000 \text{ grams}$.

The letter T indicates a metric tonne,

One tonne is equivalent to one thousand kilograms,

Therefore, in 7.8 tons there are

1000*7.8 = 7800 kg

To solve this problem, we will convert the weight from kilograms to grams.

We know that $1\, \text{kg} = 1,000\, \text{g}$. Therefore, to convert the weight from kilograms to grams, we multiply the weight in kilograms by 1,000.

With the given weight $3.21\, \text{kg}$, we perform the calculation as follows:

• Multiply $3.21$ by $1,000$:

$3.21 \times 1,000 = 3,210$

After performing this calculation, we find that $3.21 \, \text{kg}$ is equivalent to $3,210\, \text{g}$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $3,210$.

Comparing this result with the given multiple choice answers, the correct choice is option (3): $3,210$.

In one kilometer there are 1000 meters,

therefore one meter is one-thousandth of a kilometer.
