Question

Convert 578 X 10^6 centigrams to teragrams?

Answer 1

The conversion from 578 x 10^6 centigrams to teragrams is done by converting centigrams to grams, grams to kilograms, and finally kilograms to teragrams resulting in a value of 5.78 x 10^-7 teragrams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert 578 x 10^6 centigrams to teragrams, we need to first convert centigrams to grams, and then grams to teragrams.

1. Since there are 100 centigrams in a gram, we multiply 578 x 10^6 centigrams by 1 gram/100 centigrams to get 5.78 x 10^8 grams.
2. Next, we convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1,000 because there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. This results in 5.78 x 10^5 kilograms.
3. Finally, to convert kilograms to teragrams, we divide by 1,000,000,000,000, because there are 1 trillion (10^12) kilograms in a teragram. Doing this gives us 5.78 x 10^-7 teragrams.

Therefore, 578 x 10^6 centigrams is equal to 5.78 x 10^-7 teragrams.
