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.

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.
Yes, 5g is bigger than 25mg. One gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg), so 5g is equal to 5000mg. Therefore, 5g is significantly larger than 25mg.
