Lesson # 18 Metric Conversions MASS !
Yes…Mass And It has nothing to do with church.
However, you may need help From God If you do not Pay Attention !
Mass It’s the thing often referred to as weight. Like… A loaf of bread has a mass of 645 grams Or “You” might have a mass of 80 kg Like your fit and trim Math teacher !
He is so trim… He tilts the scale at a whopping 80 kg. That’s 175 pounds. (Mostly muscle)
So what then is a kg? A kg is one thousand G’s. So what is a G? It’s a gram.
A gram is… About the mass of a blueberry! 1000 of them Make 1 Kilogram ! And A lot of muffins.
And an “mg” is… A milligram ! They are really small. Doctors usually measure pills in Milligrams. One pill would be close to 100 mg.
To summarize… 1 kg = 1000 grams 1000 mg = 1 gram Sooooo… 1 000 000 mg = 1 kg
Got it? Good. Now let’s look at the conversion. It is very similar to Other metric conversions.
First… Decide if you are converting… Bigger to smaller Or Smaller to bigger.
Once you decide… If converting bigger to smaller… Multiply ! X
If converting… Smaller to bigger Divide ÷
Don’t forget… 1000 mg = 1 g 1000 g = 1 kg 1 000 000 mg = 1 kg
Here is an example… 3.2 g = ? Mg 3.2 X 1000 = 3200 mg The decimal moved 3 places.
Another example… 5.67 kg = ? Mg 5.67 X 1 000 000 = 5 670 000 mg The decimal moved 6 places !
