Answer 2

The small female gorilla weighs 68,000 grams

Further Explanation

Given:

The small gorilla weighs 68 kilograms (kg).

How much does she weigh in grams (g)?

We know that, 1 kilogram = 1000 gram.

In order to convert kilograms to grams, we just do multiplying

$=\boxed {68 kg \times1000\ }\\ =\boxed {68000\ }$

But there is an order system to convert:

1. write the conversion in fraction
2. multiply
3. cancel any unit that are both top and bottom

$=\boxed {\frac{1000g}{1 kg} = 1\ }\\ = \boxed {68 \times\frac{1000 g}{1 kg }\ }$

= 68 kg x 1000 g         ⇒ we can cancel the kg

            1 kg

= 68,000 g

Kilogram (kg) and gram (g) are the most common unit of mass in metric system of measurement.
