Mass

We will learn about the units of mass found in mathematics.

Mass units:

Kilogram (kg)
Gram (g)

To convert kilograms to grams, you just need to multiply (x) 1000.

For example:

80 kg to g = \(80\times1000\)

= 80 000 g

To convert grams to kilograms, you only need to divide by 1000.

For example:

700 g to kg = \((700\div1000)\)

= 0.7 g
