Given:
5 grams of salt
Determine its value in kg.
Solution:
In order to determine its value in kg, we must simply look at the conversion equivalent of grams to kilograms.
1 kg = 1000 g
Now we need to divide 5 grams by 1000 g, in order to determine its value in kg, or we can use the general conversion method to solve.
= (5 g )(1 kg/1000g)
The unit g cancels.
= 5k/1000
= 0.005 kg
Final answer:
5g is equal to 0.005 kg
