Question

1.34 milligrams is the same as _______kg and ______g

Answer 1

Answer : The 1.34 milligrams is the same as $1.34\times 10^{-6}kg$ and $1.34\times 10^{-3}g$

Explanation :

The conversion used for mass from milligram to kilogram is:

$1mg=10^{-6}kg$

The conversion used for mass from milligram to gram is:

$1mg=10^{-3}g$

As we are given that the mass 1.34 mg. Now we have to determine the mass in kg and g.

Mass of 'kg' :

$1mg=10^{-6}kg$

$1.34mg=\frac{1.34mg}{1mg}\times 10^{-6}kg=1.34\times 10^{-6}kg$

Mass of 'g' :

$1mg=10^{-3}g$

$1.34mg=\frac{1.34mg}{1mg}\times 10^{-3}g=1.34\times 10^{-3}g$

Therefore, the 1.34 milligrams is the same as $1.34\times 10^{-6}kg$ and $1.34\times 10^{-3}g$

Answer 2

There are 1000 mg in 1 g
and there are 1000 g in 1 kg

Start by converting 1.34 mg to grams by dividing 1.34 mg by 1000 g = 0.00134 g

Then convert 0.00134 g to kg by dividing 0.00134 g by 1000 kg = 1.34×10^-6 kg OR 0.00000134 kg
