Answer:

60 hg

Explanation:

The meanings of the prefixes kilo- and hecto- are ...

1 kg = 1000 g

1 hg = 100 g

So, 1 kg = 1000 g = 10×100 g = 10 hg.

Your conversion is ...

6 kg = (6 kg)(10 hg/kg) = 60 hg

_____

For any units conversion, multiply by a ratio whose value is 1. The numerator of the ratio should contain the units you want, and the denominator should contain the units you want to cancel.
