Chapter SR7, Problem 16P

Solution

To complete the statement $65,000\text{ mg}=\underset{¯}{?}\text{ g}$ .

  $65,000\text{ mg}=65\text{ g}$

Given:

The statement, $65,000\text{ mg}=\underset{¯}{?}\text{ g}$ .

Concept Used:

The conversion factor, $1\text{ mg}=0.001\text{ g}$ .

Calculation:

In order to complete the given statement $65,000\text{ mg}=\underset{¯}{?}\text{ g}$ , use the conversion factor $1\text{ mg}=0.001\text{ g}$ and simplify further as shown below

  $\begin{array}{c}65,000\text{ mg}=65,000\times 0.001\text{ g}\\ =65\text{ g}\end{array}$

Thus, the complete statement is $65,000\text{ mg}=65\text{ g}$ .
