• A. 4000 milligrams
• B. 4 grams
• C. Cannot say

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both are equal

To compare two quantities their units have to be same .

Therefore convert 4 g to mg

From the conversion table, we see that

To convert larger units (g) to smaller units (mg) we multiply by the conversion factor.
We know that 1g = 1000 mg
Therefore 4g = (4 x 1000)mg

Therefore 4g = 4000 mg

That means 4g or 4000 mg both are equal.
