Question

If a dog has a mass of 16.1 kg, what is its mass in the following units? Use scientific notation in all of your answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

$16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$

$16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

Explanation:

Mass of dog = $16.1\ \text{kg}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{3}\ \text{g}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$1\ \text{kg}=10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

So,

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$

$16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$

Mass of the dog in the other units is $16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}$, $16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}$ and $16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}$.
