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
[tex]=\boxed {68 kg \times1000\ }\\ =\boxed {68000\ }[/tex]
But there is an order system to convert:
- write the conversion in fraction
- multiply
- cancel any unit that are both top and bottom
[tex]=\boxed {\frac{1000g}{1 kg} = 1\ }\\ = \boxed {68 \times\frac{1000 g}{1 kg }\ }[/tex]
= 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.
