Remember that the prefixes "c", "m" and "k" have corresponding values of powers of 10.

To be precise, here are the corresponding values:


\begin{gathered} c=10^(-2)=0.01 \\ m=10^(-3)=0.001 \\ k=10^3=1000 \end{gathered}

Where the letter c is for centi-, m is for mili-, and k is for kilo-.

Using this facts, rewrtite the quantity 11.34g:

Since 1cg = 0.01g, use the conversion factor of 1cg/0.01g:


11.34\text{ g }=11.34\text{ g}\cdot(1cg)/(0.01g)=(11.34)/(0.01)cg=1134\text{ cg}

Since 1mg=0.001 g, use the conversion factor of 1mg/0.001g:


11.34g=11.34g\cdot(1mg)/(0.001g)=(11.34)/(0.001)g=11340\text{ mg}

Since 1kg=1000g, use the conversion factor of 1kg/1000g:


11.34g=11.34g\cdot\frac{1\operatorname{kg}}{1000g}=(11.34)/(1000)kg=0.01134\operatorname{kg}

Therefore, 11.34 g is equal to 1134 cg, 11,340 mg and 0.01134 kg.
