Question

you have a paperclip with a mass of 1.5 grams How many miligrams is it?

Answer 1

To solve this problem, we have to transform 1.5 grams into milligrams.

We know that 1 gram is equivalent to 1000 milligrams, so we do the transformation as follows

$x=1.5g\cdot\frac{1000mg}{1g}=1,500mg$

Therefore, 1.5 grams equals 1,500 milligrams.
