Ratio conversion table kilograms (kg) : grams (g) 1 : 1,000 grams (g) : milligrams (mg) 1 : 1,000 kilograms (kg) : milligrams (mg) 1 : 1,000,000 using the conversion table, find the quantities equivalent to 1.75 grams. a 0.00175 kg b 1,750 mg c 17.5 g d 175 mg e 17,500 kg there must be more than one answer!

1.75 g = 1.75 ÷ 1000 =0.00175 kg

1.75 g = 1.75 x 1000 = 1750mg

A and B

The correct answers are:
_______________________________________________
   [A]:  " 0.00175 kg "  ;  AND:
_______________________________________________
    [B]:  " 1,750 mg " .

_______________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________
We are given: " 1.75 grams " ;  which is:  " 1.75 g " ; 

The answer choices are given in units of g, kg, and mg; 
________________________________________________
→Choice:  [C]:  "17.5 g" is the only answer choice provided that is given in units of "g" ; and is incorrect;  since:  "1.75 g"  "17.5 g" .
________________________________________________
Now, let us convert our given value:  " 1.75 g " ; into:  
________________________________________________
1)  units of "mg" ;  and:

2) units of "kg" ;
________________________________________________
Start with:  "units of "mg" :

________________________________________________
 1.75 g * [ (1000 mg) / (1 g) ] =  1 ,750 mg ; 

which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  " 1,750 mg " .

→ We can rule out "Choice: [D] " .
________________________________________________________
Now, convert to "units of "kg" :

1.75 g * (1 kg / 1000 g) =  [ (1.75) / {1000) ] kg ;

                                      =  0.00175 kg ;  

which is:  Answer choice:  [A]:  " 0.00175 kg " .

→  We can rule out "Choice:  [E] " .
