Sagot :

To convert kilograms (kg) to milligrams (mg), we need to understand the relationship between these units of measurement.

1 kilogram (kg) is equal to 1,000 grams (g), and 1 gram (g) is equal to 1,000 milligrams (mg). Therefore:

[tex]\[ 1 \text{ kg} = 1,000 \text{ g} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 1 \text{ g} = 1,000 \text{ mg} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 1 \text{ kg} = 1,000 \text{ g} \times 1,000 \text{ mg/g} = 1,000,000 \text{ mg} \][/tex]

So, to convert 2.8 kg to milligrams, we can use the conversion factor:

[tex]\[ 2.8 \text{ kg} = 2.8 \times 1,000,000 \text{ mg} = 2,800,000 \text{ mg} \][/tex]

The correct choice is:
D) [tex]\( 2.8 \times 10^6 \text{ mg} \)[/tex]
