Question

Convert 3.974×10^10 grams to mg

Answer 1

Answer:

3.974 x 10¹³ mg

Explanation:

To find the amount in milligrams (mg), you need to multiply the given number by the conversion, 1,000 mg/g. This conversions exists as a ratio which compares the amount of mg per every 1 g. It is important to arrange the ratio in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (grams should be in the denominator).

1,000 mg = 1 g

3.974 x 10¹⁰ g            1,000 mg
