Question

Arrange the following measurements from smallest to largest

55 grams
0.005 kilograms
15 grams

Answer 1

To convert 0.005 kilograms to grams, multiply by 1000, which results in 5 grams. Thus, the measurements in ascending order are 5 grams, 15 grams, and 55 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To arrange the measurements of 55 grams, 0.005 kilograms, and 15 grams from smallest to largest, we need to convert them all to the same unit. Since the most common unit given is grams, we will convert kilograms to grams. Remembering that 1 kilogram is equivalent to 1000 grams, we can convert 0.005 kilograms to grams by multiplying:

0.005 kilograms × 1000 grams/kilogram = 5 grams.

Now we can arrange the quantities:

1. 5 grams (0.005 kilograms)
2. 15 grams
3. 55 grams

Therefore, the measurements in order from smallest to largest are: 5 grams, 15 grams, 55 grams.
