Question

The recommended daily intake of potassium ( K ) is 4.725 g . The average raisin contains 3.513 mg K . Fill in the denominators of the fractions, d 1 and d 2 , to complete the conversion factors that can be used to convert between grams and milligrams, given that 1 g is equivalent to 1000 mg . 1 g d 1 mg or 1000 mg d 2 g

Answer 1

Explanation:

It is known that 1 gram contains 1000 milligrams. And, mathematically we can represent it as follows.

             $\frac{1 g}{1000 mg}$ or $\frac{1000 mg}{1 g}$

So, when we have to convert grams into milligrams then we simply multiply the digit with 1000. And, if we have to convert a digit from milligrams to grams then we simply divide it by 1000.
