Question

One serving of butter contains 12. 3 grams of fat. Convert the mass to milligrams.

Answer 1

We are given a mass in grams and are asked to convert it to milligrams. Therefore, we do a rule of three as follows:

`\begin{gathered} 1g\text{ --> }1000mg \\ 12.3g\text{ --> }xmg \end{gathered}`

That rule of three leaves us with this equation:

`x=(12.3(1000))/(1)\text{ --> }x=12300mg`

Therefore, we conclude that 12.3 grams of fat are 12300mg of fat
