Since each kilogram is equal to 1000 grams, we can use the following rule of three to find how many grams is equal to 16 kilograms:


\begin{gathered} \text{kilograms}\to\text{grams} \\ 1\to1000 \\ 16\to x \end{gathered}

Now, we can write the following proportion equation and solve it for x:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(16)=(1000)/(x) \\ x\cdot1=16\cdot1000 \\ x=16000 \end{gathered}

Therefore the answer is 16,000 grams.
