Given the statement:
An American nickel five cent coin has a mass of approximately 5 grams
Determine the equivalent measurement.
Solution:
In order to determine the equivalent measurement, we simply must determine the conversion of mass.
1000 g = 1 kg
1000 mg = 1 g
1000000 micrograms = 1 g
Hence, in our case, since we have 5 grams, the equivalent answer based from the choces is 5000 mg. This can be solved using the general conversion method.
= ( 5 g)(1000 mg/1g)
= 5000 mg
Final answer:
5000 milligrams
