Missing question:

0.0854 kilogram

85.4 grams

8.54 hectograms

85,400 milligrams.

Answer is: 8.54 hectograms is not the same.

1 cg = 0.01 g; one centigram is equal to 10⁻² grams.

m = 8540 cg.

m = 8540 cg · 0.01 g/cg.

m = 85.4 g.

1) m = 0.0854 kg.

1 kg = 1000 g.

m = 0.0854 kg · 1000 g/kg.

m = 85.4 g; it is the same.

2) m = 85.4 g; it is the same.

3) m = 8.54 hg.

1 hg = 100 g; one hectogram is 100 grams.

m = 8.54 hg · 100 g/hg.

m = 854 g; it is not the same.

4) m = 85400 mg.

1 mg = 0.001 g.

m = 85400 mg · 0.001 g/mg.

m = 85.4 g; it is the same.
