The milli- prefix means one thousandth (1/1000), thus:
1000 mg = 1000 × 1/1000 g = 1 g
By converting to the same units a comparison can be made:
5g = 5 × 1000 mg = 5000 mg > 43 mg
Thus 5 g is greater than 43 mg.
I suggest you convert everything to milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams), then compare the results.
Yes
greater than
43 mg is only........ = 0.043 grams so, much less than 5 grams
no milligrams are 1/1000th of a gram 5 grams are 5000 miligrams 5grams > 43 mg
It's less, because there are 1000 mg in a gram, so that makes 43 mg 43/1000 of a gram, much smaller than even one gram.
5
Neither; 43mg is less than 5g.
Much smaller.
5 g is greater than 43 mg
No 43 mg equals 0.043 g which is obviously less than 5 g.
1000 mg = 1 g so 43 mg < 5 g
45mg is less than 5g.
greater than
43 mg is only........ = 0.043 grams so, much less than 5 grams
43mg is less than 5g because 5g is equal to 5,000mg. Hence: 1g=1,000mg
5 g is greater than 508 mg.
5g is the larger quantity.
5 grams is 5 x 1000 = 5000 mg which is definitely greater than 43 mg
