________________________________________________________
Step-by-step explanation:
________________________________________________________
Since all answer choices given are in "mg" ("milligrams"); we need to convert our given value, "0.27 kg" ("kilograms") to "mg" ("milligrams").
________________________________________________________
Note the following "exact value" conversions:
________________________________________________________
1000 mg = 1 g ;
1000 g = 1 kg.

(0.27 kg) (1000 g / 1 kg) (1000 mg/1 g) = __?__ mg ;
_____________________________________________________
The units of "kg", and "g" cancel to "1" and we are left with:
________________________________________________
0.27 * 1000 * 1000 mg = 270,000 mg = 2.7 * 10⁵ mg ; which is:
