The table below is based on the kilogram (kg), the base unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI). The kilogram is the only standard unit to include an SI prefix (kilo-) as part of its name. The gram (10−3 kg) is an SI derived unit of mass. However, the names of all SI mass units are based on gram, rather than on kilogram; thus 103 kg is a megagram (106 g), not a "kilokilogram".
The tonne (t) is a SI-compatible unit of mass equal to a megagram, or 103 kg. The unit is in common use for masses above about 103 kg and is often used with SI prefixes.

How do you put kilogram and g in order?
Kg goes first going greatest to least then comes gram.
How do you convert 25cg into g?
You would have to use a unit multiplier. This is how you set up a unit multplier. On the numerator of the multiplier you would put how much the centigram is worth per gram and on the denominator you would put one gram. So I will put a 100 on top because for every 1 gram there is 100 centigrams. 100cg 25cg x ------- = 2,500 centigrams 1g
How many liquid units equal one milligram?
It depends on the density of the liquid. For water, whose density is 1, each gram is one milliliter. One kg is a liter. If the liquid is heavier, like glycerin, whose density is about 2.5, then each milliliter of it wil weight 2.5 grams, one liter of it will weight 2.5kg, or the other way around, one gram of glycerin contains 1/2.5=0.4ml of glicerin, or 1 kg of it can be put in a 400 ml bottle.
Which is heavier to lift a kilogram of stones or a kilogram of feather?
As long as they're both on the same planet, every kilogram weighs the same. Put 1 kg of stones and 1 kg of feathers (or 1 kg of smoke or 1 kg of water or 1kg of dust) on opposite ends of a see-saw, and they balance.
How can you putting fraction in order?
You cannot put a fraction is order. A number of fractionscan be put in order, usually from the smallest to the largest.
