The small female gorilla weighs 68,000 grams
<h3>
Further Explanation</h3>
<u>Given:</u>
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\ }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cboxed%20%7B68%20kg%20%5Ctimes1000%5C%20%7D%5C%5C%20%3D%5Cboxed%20%7B68000%5C%20%7D)
<u>But there is an order system to convert:</u>
- write the conversion in fraction
- multiply
- cancel any unit that are both top and bottom
![=\boxed {\frac{1000g}{1 kg} = 1\ }\\ = \boxed {68 \times\frac{1000 g}{1 kg }\ }](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cboxed%20%7B%5Cfrac%7B1000g%7D%7B1%20kg%7D%20%3D%201%5C%20%7D%5C%5C%20%3D%20%5Cboxed%20%7B68%20%5Ctimes%5Cfrac%7B1000%20g%7D%7B1%20kg%20%7D%5C%20%7D)
=<u> 68 kg x 1000 g </u> ⇒ <em>we can cancel the kg</em>
1 kg
= 68,000 g
