Question

Express the following as $kg$ using decimals:

$3750g$

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 $\frac{1}{1000}$.

$3750g$$=3750\times \frac{1}{1000}kg$

$=\frac{3750}{1000}kg$

$=3.75kg$ (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, $3750g$$=3.75kg$.
