Answer 1

The order of the measurements from smallest to largest is:

• 60,000 mg, 1.5 kg, 3,000 g

Explanation:

The three given measurements of mass are:

• 60,000 mg
• 1.5 kg
• 3,000 g

Definitions

• "g" means grams.

• "mg" means milligrams. "Milli" means a thousandth.
  ⇒ 1 mg = 0.001 g

• "kg" means kilograms. "Kilo" means one thousand.
  ⇒ 1 kg = 1000 g

Therefore, to be able to order the three given measurements from smallest to largest, first convert them to the same unit of mass (grams):

⇒ 3,000 g = 3,000 g

⇒ 60,000 mg = 60,000 × 0.001 = 60 g

⇒ 1.5 kg = 1.5 × 1000 = 1,500 g

Therefore, the order of the measurements in grams from smallest to largest is:

• 60 g < 1,500 g < 3,000 g

So, the order of the measurements in their original units from smallest to largest is:

• 60,000 mg, 1.5 kg, 3,000 g

Answer 2

• 60000 mg, 1.5 kg, 3000 g

-----------------------

Given measurements:

• 60000 mg, 1.5 kg, 3000 g

Bring all to same unit, grams, then compare;

• 60000 mg = 60 g,
• 1.5 kg = 1500 g,
• 3000 g

Order them from smallest to largest:

• 60 g < 1500 g < 3000 g or
• 60000 mg < 1.5 kg < 3000 g
