Compare and Convert Metric Units of Weight
Conversions of common metric units of weight:
1 gram = 1,000 milligrams | 1 kilogram = 1,000 grams |
Let's consider an example.
Suppose we need to compare 8 kilograms and 6,000 grams.
In order to compare, we first convert 8 kilograms to grams.
We know that 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams.
So, 8 kilograms = 8 x 1,000 = 8,000 grams
8,000 grams is more than 6,000 grams.
So, 8 kilograms > 6,000 grams.
