Question

3. An adult rhino is 1350 kilograms. What is its mass in micrograms? Please write your answer in correct Scientific Notation. Micrograms

Answer 1

To convert 1350 kilograms to micrograms, we need to multiply by a conversion factor that takes us from kilograms to micrograms.

1 kilogram = 1,000,000,000 micrograms (by definition)

So,

1350 kilograms = 1350 x 1,000,000,000 micrograms

= 1.35 x 10^12 micrograms (in scientific notation)

Therefore, the mass of an adult rhino is 1.35 x 10^12 micrograms.

Answer 2

1.35×10¹² μg

Step-by-step explanation:

Mass (Kg) = 1350 Kg

Mass (μg) =?

Thus, we can obtain the mass of the adult rhino in micrograms (μg) by converting 1350 Kg to microgram (μg) as follow:

1 Kg = 1×10⁹ μg

Therefore,

1350 Kg = 1350 kg / 1 kg × 1×10⁹ μg

1350 Kg = 1.35×10¹² μg

Therefore, 1350 Kg is equivalent to 1.35×10¹² μg.
