Answer:

Similar: In both cases, it is converting a large unit to a smaller unit.Different: Grams to milligrams is multiplying by 1000 or simply moving the decimal point three places to the right. Pounds to ounces requires multiplication by 16.

Explanation:

You use ratios to convert. The actual ratios are different. 1000mg/1g and 16 ounces/1pound
