Determine which is more precise:

5kg or 5212g

Explanation:

The two values are unit of measurement for the mass of an object. In terms of precision, we can conclude that 5212 grams is more precise than 5 kg since it shows the exact value of the mass of an object or body, while in 5 kg, we cannot determine if it was rounded to the nearest whole number just to get that value. If we are given further condition about what measurements to be used as the basis, then the answers may vary, but for now, looking at the given values, 5212 g is more precise.

Final answer:

5212 g is more precise
