Is 43 mg greater than 5g?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

I suggest you convert everything to milligrams (1 gram = 1000 milligrams), then compare the results.

Answer 3

Yes
