Answer 1

8.54 hg (C or the third option) is NOT the same as 8,540 centigrams but rather 0.0854 kg and the other answers are the same as 8,540.

Answer 2

Answer: 8.54 hg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.

It can be measured in units of kilograms (kg), grams (g), milli grams (mg) etc;

These units are interconvertible.

1. 0.00854 kg

`1kg=100000cg`

Thus
`0.0854kg=(100000)/(1)* 0.0854=8540cg`

2. 85.4 g

`1g=100cg`

Thus
`85.4g=(100)/(1)* 85.4=8540cg`

3. 8.54 hg

`1hg=10000cg`

Thus
`8.54hg=(10000)/(1)* 8.54=85400cg`

4. 85400 mg

`1g=0.1cg`

Thus
`85400mg=(0.1)/(1)* 85400=8540cg`

Thus 8.54 hg is not same as 8540 centigrams.
