Transcribed Image Text:The image displays a conversion problem often found in educational contexts, focusing on converting kilograms (kg) to grams (g) and milligrams (mg). The problem is presented as follows:
"3.1 kg = _____ g = _____ mg"
Below the problem, several multiple-choice options are provided to fill in the blanks:
1. 31, 310
2. 3,100,000, 3,100
3. 3.1, 31
4. 3,100, 3,100,000
The task is to select the correct option that accurately converts the given weight in kilograms to grams and milligrams. To solve this:
- 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams.
- 1 gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams.
Therefore, 3.1 kg is converted as follows:
- 3.1 kg = 3,100 g
- 3,100 g = 3,100,000 mg
The correct option is the last one:
4. 3,100, 3,100,000
