Answer 1

It has to be 2 hope this helps

Answer 2

10.1 g = 0.0011 kg is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting from g to kg we divide by 1000 and when converting from kg to g we multiply by 1000.

765 g = 0.765 kg is correct since 1 kg = 1000 g

10.1 g = 0.0011 kg is incorrect since 1 kg = 1000 g

10.1 g = 0.0101 kg is correct

1000 g = 1 kg is the correct conversion factor

5.44 g = 0.00544 kg is correct since 1 kg = 1000 g
