Question

Express $5\mathrm{g}$ as $\mathrm{kilograms}$ using decimals.

Answer 1

Converting $\mathrm{g}$ to $\left(\mathrm{kilograms}\right)\mathrm{kg}$ using decimals

$\because 1000\mathrm{g}=1\mathrm{kg}$

$\Rightarrow 1\mathrm{g}=\frac{1}{1000}\mathrm{kg}$ (By unitary method)

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 5\mathrm{g}=5\times \frac{1}{1000} \\ =\frac{5}{1000} \\ =0.005\mathrm{kg} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, $5\mathrm{g}=0.005\mathrm{kg}$.
