whpalmer4 · Answer

So if 1 kg is 1000 grams, how many kilograms can we take out of 2,850 grams, and what will we have left over?

anonymous · Answer

2.85

whpalmer4 · Answer

How many whole kilograms?

whpalmer4 · Answer

2 whole kilograms, right?  That leaves 0.85 kilograms, or 850 grams.  We need to figure out which combination of units will handle 850 grams.

anonymous · Answer

Oh okayy.:))

whpalmer4 · Answer

This is where knowing the prefixes pays off.

centi = 1/100  (1 cm = 1/100 m)
hecto = 100 
milli = 1/1000 (1 mm = 1/1000 m)
deka = 10
deci = 1/10

what units will we need to make up 850 grams?
