Question

is 953,000mg the same as 0.953

Answer 1

So, there are 1000 milligrams (mg) in a gram (g), and there are 1000 grams in a kilogram (kg). This means that there are 1000000 milligrams in a kilogram.

\[1000000 mg = 1 kg\]
or
\[1mg = \frac{ 1 }{ 1000000 }kg = 0.000001 kg\]

So, if we had 953000 mg, this would convert to:

\[953000 mg = (0.000001)(953000) kg = 0.953 kg\]
which is the correct figure we are looking for.

So, 953000 mg is equivalent to 0.953 kg by the above conversion!
