Question

Hello. how do I find out what 3.26g is in kilograms?

Answer 1

0.00326 kg

Step-by-step explanation

you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.

remember

`1\text{ Kilogram}\rightarrow1000\text{ grams}`

Step 1

let x represents the total of kilograms in 3.26 grams

if

`1000\text{ grams}\rightarrow1\text{ Kilogram}`

then

`3.26\text{ grams}\rightarrow x\text{ Kilogram}`

the proportion is

`\begin{gathered} \frac{1000\text{ gr}}{1\text{ kg}}=(3.26)/(x) \\ \end{gathered}`

Step 2

solve for x

`\begin{gathered} \frac{1000\text{ gr}}{1\text{ kg}}=(3.26)/(x) \\ 1000x=3.26\cdot1 \\ 1000x=3.26 \\ \text{divide both sides by 1000} \\ (1000x)/(1000)=(3.26)/(100) \\ x=0.00326\text{ kg} \end{gathered}`

so, the answer is 0.00326 kg

as you can see, to convert from grams to kilograms you have to divide by 1000

I hope this helps you
