Question

If a dog has a mass of 16.1 kg, what is its mass in the following units? Use scientific notation in all of your answers.

g
mg
ug

Answer 1

`16.1* 10^3\ \text{g}`

`16.1* 10^(6)\ \text{mg}`

`16.1* 10^(9)\ \mu\text{g}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass of dog =
`16.1\ \text{kg}`

`1\ \text{kg}=10^(3)\ \text{g}`

`1\ \text{kg}=10^(6)\ \text{mg}`

`1\ \text{kg}=10^(9)\ \mu\text{g}`

So,

`16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1* 10^3\ \text{g}`

`16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1* 10^(6)\ \text{mg}`

`16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1* 10^(9)\ \mu\text{g}`

Mass of the dog in the other units is
`16.1* 10^3\ \text{g}`,
`16.1* 10^(6)\ \text{mg}` and
`16.1* 10^(9)\ \mu\text{g}`.
