Helpful Hint To multiply by a power of 10, move the decimal to the right; to divide by a power of 10, move the decimal to the left.
Ex 1 Convert 450 g to _____ kg. 450 gx kg 1,000 g m 1 kg Write a proportion. = 1,000x = 450 kg The cross products are equal. Divide both sides by 1,000 to undo the multiplication. x = 0.45 kg
Ex 2 Convert. 8,500 g = _____ kg 8,500 gtx kg 1,000 g m 1 kg Write a proportion. = The cross products are equal. Divide both sides by 1,000 to undo the multiplication. 1,000x = 8,500 kg x = 8.5 kg
