Question

Which is more 869 milligrams or 7/10 grams?

Answer 1

We are comparing milligrams and grams. We need to convert grams to milligrams and then compare both.

7/10 in decimal is 0.7

So,

0.7 grams

compared with 869 milligrams

Converting grams to milligrams (1000 milligrams = 1 gram):

$0.7\text{grams}\times\frac{1000\text{ milligram}}{1\text{gram}}=0.7\times1000=700\text{milligram}$

Thus, we are comparing

869 milligrams & 700 milligrams

Of course,

869 milligrams > 700 milligrams

or

869 milligrams > 7/10 gram
