Answer 1

Answer 2

how many places and in which direction do you move the decimal?

Answer 3

The Answer is A
Like @ehuman said, 1g = 1000mg

What you do is:\[496.1mg \times \frac{ 1 g }{ 1000mg } = 0.4961 g\]

the mg cancel each other out, leaving you with the 0.4961g. the 1g = 1000 mg is a conversion factor.
