- àï6.5èMetric Measurements of Mass.
-
- äèPlease convert the following Metric Measurements of
- êê Mass.
-
- âêêConvert .55 g to _____ mg.
-
- êêïkgè hgè dagè gè dgè cgèmg
- #êêêêê└────────────────┘
- è This conversion involves moving the decimal point three places to
- è the right.êèThus, .55 gè =è 550 mg.
-
- éSïThe Metric Measurements of Mass are milligram, centigram,
- decigram, gram, decagram, hectogram, and kilogram.ïThe
- equivalencies between ç units of Mass are as follows:
- êêë1 kilogram (kg)è =è 1000 grams (g)
- êêè 1 hectogram (hg)è =è 100 g
- êêè 1 decagram (dag)è =è 10 g
- êêêè1 gram (g)è =è 1 g
- êêë1 decigram (dg)è =è .1 g
- êêè 1 centigram (cg)è =è .01 g
- êêè 1 milligram (mg)è =è .001 g
-
- ëIt is possible to convert .55 g to mg by using proportions, but it
- is much faster to just move the decimal point as was done with Metric
- Measurements of Length.ïThe first thing to do is to list the units of
- Mass from largest to smallest.
-
- êè kgè hgè dagè gè dgè cgè mg
- #êêêêï└─────────────────┘
- Since each unit of measurement differs from the next unit by a factor of
- 10, converting grams to milligrams involves moving the decimal point
- three places to the right.
- êêêThus, .55 gè=è550 mg.
