Question

Convert the metric measurements as indicated. Do not round your results.

A turtle crawled 0.02501 kilometers. How many millimeters is this? = millimeters

Alexis weighed 0.47 grams of a base for a chemistry experiment. How many milligrams did she weigh? =milligrams

Answer 1

The conversion from 0.02501 kilometers to millimeters is 25,010 mm, while the conversion from 0.47 grams to milligrams is 470 mg.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the metric measurements asked in the student's question:

1. To convert 0.02501 kilometers into millimeters (mm), we use the fact that 1 kilometer (km) is equal to 1,000,000 millimeters. So, we multiply 0.02501 by 1,000,000 to get the result in millimeters.
   

   0.02501 km × 1,000,000 mm/km = 25,010 mm

2. To convert 0.47 grams into milligrams (mg), we use the fact that 1 gram (g) is equal to 1,000 milligrams. So, we multiply 0.47 by 1,000 to get the result in milligrams.
   

   0.47 g × 1,000 mg/g = 470 mg
