memorize this fact: 1 kg = 1000 g

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

kilo is a prefix that means thousand

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

start with 1 kg = 1000 g and multiply both sides by 7100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it is 1,000000?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you multiply both sides by 7100 to turn that 1 kg into 7100 kg
