order from smallest to biggest
10g , 100mg , 0.1kg
1km ,100m , 1000cm
You need to change each set into the same units.
For example 1 km = 1000m
and 1000cm = 10m
so in meters it goes 10m, 100m, 1000m which corresponds to the
1000cm, 100m, 1 km
Now your turn to do the conversions on the grams, kg etc : )
1g = 1000mg so 10g is bigger than 100mg?
To order the given quantities from smallest to biggest, we need to convert them to a common unit of measurement. Let's convert them to grams (g) in the first example and meters (m) in the second example, as they are the most commonly used units.
First Example:
10g, 100mg, 0.1kg
To convert milligrams (mg) to grams (g), we divide by 1000.
100mg ÷ 1000 = 0.1g
So now we have:
0.1g, 0.1g, 0.1kg
Next, let's convert kilograms (kg) to grams (g) by multiplying by 1000.
0.1kg × 1000 = 100g
Now we have:
0.1g, 0.1g, 100g
And finally, we can order them from smallest to biggest:
0.1g, 0.1g, 100g
Second Example:
1km, 100m, 1000cm
To convert kilometers (km) to meters (m), we multiply by 1000.
1km × 1000 = 1000m
Now we have:
1000m, 100m, 1000cm
And to convert centimeters (cm) to meters (m), we divide by 100.
1000cm ÷ 100 = 10m
Now we have:
1000m, 100m, 10m
Finally, we can order them from smallest to biggest:
10m, 100m, 1000m
