Question

If you were converting 42 grams into kilograms which fraction would you use as a converting factor

Answer 1

The fraction as a converting factor is 1/1,000

Explanation:

we know that

1 kg=1,000 g

using proportion

Let

x ----->the amount in kilograms

`(1,000)/(1)(g)/(kg)=(42)/(x)(g)/(kg) \\\\x=42((1)/(1,000))\\\\x=0.042\ kg`

therefore

The fraction as a converting factor is 1/1,000
