Expert Answer

There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram. You can remember that because "kilo" means "thousand." If you start with 5000 grams, you would divide by 1000, so the answer would be 5 kilograms. On the other hand if you have 43 kilograms and you want to convert it to grams, you'd multiply by 1000 to get 43,000 grams.

1 Kilogram = 1000 grams (kilo = thousand). Grams = kilograms x 1000, and kilograms = grams ÷ 1000.

Question

How do I do it if I have only a one digit number?

Community Answer

Divide the amount of grams you have by one thousand, even if the amount of grams is just one digit. If you have 5 grams, for example, you divide that by 1,000 to get .005 kilograms.

Take away the units, do the subtraction normally, and then return the units. 9 grams - 5 grams = (9 - 5) grams = 4 grams.

Question

How do I convert 800 g to 3 kg?

Community Answer

You can't do that, exactly. To convert grams to kilograms, you divide the number of grams you have by 1000. So, 800 g = 800/1000 = 0.8 kg. In order to get 3 kg, you would need to add 2.2 kg to the 0.8 kg you already have.

Question

If one loaf of brown bread requires 450 g of flour, how do I determine the maximum number of loaves of brown bread that can be baked from 12.5 kg of bag of flour?

Donagan

Top Answerer

12.5 kg = 12,500 grams. Divide 12,500 by 450. That equals 27.777. That means 27 loaves can be made from 12,500 g of flour (with a little flour left over).
