Question

Express the following as $kg$ using decimals:

$2g$

Answer 1

We know that, $1kg=1000g$.

Also, $1g=\frac{1}{1000}kg$.

For converting $g$ into $kg$, we have to multiply the given value by $\frac{1}{1000}$.

$2g$$=2\times \frac{1}{1000}kg$

$=\frac{2}{1000}kg$

$=0.002kg$ (As many number of zeros in the denominator that many numbers we will start counting from right to left in the numerator and place the decimal point)

Therefore, $2g$$=0.002kg$.
