Question

Write an expression to convert kilogram to grams. Let K stand for kilograms.

Answer 1

g = 1000K

Explanation:

Kilograms and grams are unit for measuring the weight of a substance .The weight of any substance can be measured in kg or g.

But to convert kilograms to grams one needs to multiply the kilogram value by 1000. The conversion goes like this

1 kg = 1000 g

if K is used to represent Kilograms the expression can be written below

g = 1000K

where K represent kilograms

Base on the expression if you are given 20 kg value, to convert to grams using that expression it can be solved as follows :

g = 1000K

g = 1000 × 20

g = 20,000

Answer 2

g = 1000K

Formula: Multiply the amount of kilograms with 1000 to convert it into grams

Explanation:

Kilo stands for 10³ or 1000. So, a kilogram means one thousand grams. This means that if you ever want to get back to grams from kilograms, all you need to do is multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000.

Number of grams = Number of kilograms x 1000

g = 1000K
