10 hm/1 m
1 cm/1L
1 kg/1000 g

Answer 1

1kg/1000g so D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is 1 kg = 1000 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit is defined as the quantity that is used as a standard for measurement.

Meter, Centimeters, hectometers are the units which is used to express length of a substance.

Liter is the unit which is used to express volume of a substance.

Kilogram, grams are the units which is used to express mass of a substance.

All the units of a particular parameter are inter changeable.

For the given options:

• Option 1: 1 m/10 cm

The conversion of meter to centimeters is:

1 m = 100 cm

Thus, this is not a valid conversion factor.

• Option 2: 10 hm/1 m

The conversion of meter to hectometers is:

1 m = 100 hm

Thus, this is not a valid conversion factor.

• Option 3:
  `1cm^3/1L`

The conversion of cubic centimeter to liters is:

`1L=1000cm^3`

Thus, this is not a valid conversion factor.

• Option 4: 1 kg/1000 g

The conversion of kilograms to grams is:

1 kg = 1000 g

Thus, this is a valid conversion factor.

Hence, the correct answer is 1 kg = 1000 g
