2 grams is equal to how many milligrams?

Answer 1

traditionally, milli = 1000 in latin (i.e. millimeters, 1000 mm=1 meter). you could also think of a millenium, which lasts 1000 years, which is why the roman numeral for 1000 is M. however, if the m in the "milligrams" has a tail on it , that means it is actually micro-, not milli-, due to the use of the greek letter "Mu" (pronounced "mew"), this time in its lowercase form. micro is equal to one millionith, or numerically, micro=10 to the negative 6th power. ( 1 micro-anything = 1 x 10^-6, or .000001) so to answer your question, 2 milligrams would be equal to .002 grams. however, 2 MICROgrams would be equal to .000002 grams. be sure to check which kind of letter M is used.

Answer 2

1 gram = 1,000 milligrams

2 grams = (2 x 1,000) = 2,000 milligrams

Answer 3

1000 milligrams = 1 gram so 2 milligrams = 2/1000 = 0.002 grams. Simple!

Answer 4

2 mg = 0.002 g

Answer 5

Multiply the number of grams by 1000.
