How many grams are there in 5.5 kg?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. 5500 g
- Step 1: 1 kg is 1,000 g. Step 2. 5.5 x 1,000 = 5500 g. Answer: 5500 g. Why not the others: 550.0055 g: 1 kg was treated as 100 g. 0.0055 g: the value was divided instead of multiplied. 55 g: 1 kg was treated as 10 g.
