Answer:

18 T-shirts

Explanation:

1gram = 1000milligrams

1gram × 156000milligrams ÷ 1000milligrams

The milligrams unit cancel out each other thus grams remains as the main unit.

=156grams

1 T-shirt = 156grams

1 T-shirt × 2808grams ÷156grams

The grams unit cancel out each other thus T-shirt remains as the main unit.

=18 T-shirts
