## anonymous 5 years ago 150 Grams+ how many Milligrams?

1. anonymous

its supposed to be = how many milligrams

2. anonymous

1000 mg = 1 gram so now multiply both sides by 150 150*1000 mg = 150 *1 grams 150000 mg = 150 grams

3. anonymous

i got 4500? is that correct?

4. anonymous

how did you get 4500?

5. anonymous

victoria11 <<< she got that answer..

6. anonymous

well i got 150,000 mg = 150 grams remember 1000 mg = 1 gram so 150 grams = 1000 * 150 mg

7. anonymous

thats sounds right im gonna put that in

8. anonymous

:) is this online?

its like, if 1 dozen apples = 12 apples. then 2 dozen = 24 apples. (we multiply both sides by 2) or more generally. n dozen apples = 12*n apples

the k in front of L means multiply by 1000 so 4kL means 4 *1000 Liters

12. anonymous

just like when i say 4 dozen apples, the dozen means multiply by 12. so 4 dozen apples means 4*12 = 48 apples. k is short for kilo by the way

that was for my example. for your example 4kL = 4000 L , k is short for kilo which means multiply by 1000. L is short for Liters , which is a type of volume like quarts

4000 L

so whats the answer to this one 63Kg=_______mg

18. anonymous

when you see K, insert x1000. so 63 Kg = 63 *1000 g = 63000 g. but we want mg. now m in front of g stands for , x .001. so 63 kg = 63,000 g = 63000 (1000 *.001) g = (63,000 * 1000) mg notice that 1000*.001 = 1 so i didnt change the equality

19. anonymous

so 63 kg = 63,000,000 mg , in case you didn't get that

$\ge \div \times +\neq \neq \subseteq$
