Why kilogram is more appropriate unit than milligram?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgesh-ka [11]1 year ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

that question is fundamentally wrong.

"appropriate" completely depends on the situation and circumstances.

if we are dealing with a weight that a human can feel, lift and distinguish from other weights without any special tool, then we are usually using kg. because then we humans can "connect" with the case, and deal with every day numbers.

if we are dealing with tiny little quantities like dosages of substances in a pill or other medication, then milligram is more than "appropriate".

because then, as humans, we are still dealing with numbers we can understand. like tens or hundreds.

if we kept kg in such situations, we would have to deal with numbers like 0.000008 kg vs. 0.000021 kg, where we could not see the magnitude of difference right away.

1. Write the following in exponential form and as a multiplication sentence using only 10 as a factor
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

1. a. 1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10² = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴ = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 7.542

Step-by-step explanation:

3. a. 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000. This is equivalent to 10 raised to the power of 3. Writing this in multiplication sentence using 19 as the only factor, we would have:

1,000 = 10³ = 10 × 10 × 10

b. 100 × 100

Using the same logic as explained in (a) above, we would have:

100 × 100 = 10² × 10² = 10 × 10 × 10 × 10

2. a. 3 × 10²

Convert 10² to 100 and multiply both numbers

3 × 10² = 3 × 10 × 10 = 3 × 100 = 300

b. 2.16 × 10⁴

2.16 × 10 × 10 × 10 × 10 = 2.16 × 10,000

Multiplying both numbers, since we have 4 zeros, move the decimal point 4 places to the right.

2.16 × 10,000 = 21,600

c. 800 ÷ 10³ = 800 ÷ 10 × 10 × 10

800 ÷ 1,000

There are 3 zeros in 1000, since we are dividing, move the decimal point 3 places to the left.

800 ÷ 1,000 = 0.8

d. 754.2 ÷ 10² = 754.2 ÷ 10 × 10

754.2 ÷ 100

Move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

754.2 ÷ 100 = 7.542
