Question

Using the following conversions between the metric and U.S. systems, convertthe measurement. Round your answer to 3 decimal places as neededThere are 16 ounces in a pound, 2000 pounds in a ton.1 kg = 2.20 pounds=0.53 ton = to what amount in mg ? 0.53ton = ___mg

Answer 1

1 ton is 1000 kg and 1 kg is 1000 g. 1g is 1000 mg.

Therefore we can transform ton into mg following these steps. Let's do it first to kg:

$0.53\text{ ton }\times\text{ 1000 = 530 kg}$$\text{530 kg}\times1000\text{ = 530000 g}$$\text{530000 g }\times\text{ 1000 = 530000}000\text{ mg}$

If you want to do it faster, you can multiplicate 0.53 by 10^9 to transform ton into mg!
