How many times does 3.5 grams go into a kilo?

Answer 1

Should we assume that a "kilo" means one kilogram?That's 1000 grams. If you take a 1000 grams of ice cream and dip it out with a 3.5 grams-per-scoop ice cream scooper, how many dishes can you get before you've eaten all the ice cream?Put another way, how many times can you take 3.5 grams away from 1000 grams of gunpowder before you can't load any more shotgun shells?To find out quickly, you divide 1000 (grams of material, called the "dividend") by 3.5 (grams per scoop, called the "divisor") and get the result (number of scoopers-to-be-scooped, called the "quotient") to be 285 plus a bit. That bit, a little less than 3/4 of a scoop, is called the "remainder".contained in 1000 grams ofSo 3.5 grams goes 285 times (fully) into a kilo-gram. With 0.71+ grams left remaining.Division is just a "times" problem asked backwards.

Answer 2

1 kilogram = 1000 grams = 103 grams

3.5 megagrams = 3.5*106 grams = 3.5*103*103 grams

= 3.5*103 kilograms (or 3500 kg)
