Lesson 2.

Weight

The metric table can also help you when you use the weight units kilogram, gram and milligram. The table below uses grams instead of meters.

Metric table - weight

We see that 1 kg = 10 hg and 1 kg = 1000 g.

You can use the table to convert amounts into other units.

Example: How many grams are 7000 mg?

Example: How many decigrams are 1.3 kg?

1.3 kg = 13000 dg

Practice this method and try Quiz 2 in Units of measure. Remember to use the Checklist to keep track of your work.
