What is the relationship of mg to g to kilogram?

Answer 1

Here is the Table of Metric Weight.

1000 mg = 1 g

1000g = 1 kg

1000 kg = 1 tonne.

Notice it goes up in steps of '1000'.

To compare with Imperial Weights.

16 ounces(oz) = 1 pound(lb)

14 lbs = 1 stone

2 stones = 1 quarter

4 quarters = 1 hundredweight (cwt)

20 cwt = 1 ton ,

NB The Imperial 'TON' is slightly heavier than the Metric 'TONNE'.

To compare

Here is the table of Metric Linear Measure.

10 mm = 1 cm

100 cm = 1 m

1000 m = 1 km .

Notice they go up in multiples of '10'.

Compare with IMperial Linear Measure.

12 inches(in) = 1 foot(ft)

3 ft = 1 yard(yd)

22 yds = 1 chain (In England, it is the length of a cricket pitch, between 'creases'. )

10 chains = 1 furlong (furrows length, from historical ploughing a field).

8 furlongs = 1 mile.

NB The KILOMETRE (km) is approximately 5/8 the of a MILE

Hope that helps!!!!!

Answer 2

1,000 mg = 1 g

1,000 g = 1 kg

1,000,000 mg = 1 kg
