Question

The mass of the sun is about 2(10^27) metric tons, or 2(10^30) kilograms. How many kilograms are in one metric ton?

Answer 1

1,000 kilograms are equal to one metric ton

Answer 2

1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms

Explanation:

The mass of the sun is about 2 x
`10^(27)` metric tons.

The mass of the sun is about 2 x
`10^(30)` kilograms.

We need to find the how many kilograms are in one metric Ton.

We can divide kilograms by metric one and find the answer.

= 2 x
`10^(30)` ÷2 x
`10^(27)`

= 1 x
`10^(3)`

= 1 times 1000

= 1000 kilograms

So 1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms
