Question

How many megagrams(Mg) are there in 3.6 tons?[ ? ] MgMass in MgEnter

Answer 1

Step 1

Given;

`3.6\text{tons}`

Required; To find how many megagrams(Mg) are in 3.6 tonnes

Step 2

Find how many megagrams(Mg) are in 3.6 tonnes

`\begin{gathered} 1\text{ tonne=1000000}g \\ 1\text{ megagram=1}000000g \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`1\text{ tonne = 1 megagram}`
`\frac{1\text{ tonne}}{3.6\text{ tonnes}}=\frac{1\text{ megagram}}{x\text{ megagram}}`
`\begin{gathered} x\text{ megagram(1 tonne)=1 megagram(3.6 tonnes)} \\ \frac{x\text{ megagram}(1\text{ tonne)}}{1\text{ tonne}}\text{=}\frac{\text{1 megagram(3.6 tonnes)}}{1\text{ tonne}} \\ x=\text{ 3.6 megagrams} \\ x=3.6Mg \end{gathered}`
