the mas of a boulder is 48,567 kilograms . what is the mass of the boulder in metric tons?
1000 kg = 1 metric ton
1 KG = .001 metric tons. Move the decimal point over three to make it 48.567 metric tons.
To convert the mass of the boulder from kilograms to metric tons, we need to divide the mass by 1,000 since there are 1,000 kilograms in a metric ton.
Mass in metric tons = Mass in kilograms / 1,000
Mass in metric tons = 48,567 kilograms / 1,000 = 48.567 metric tons
Therefore, the mass of the boulder is 48.567 metric tons.
To convert the mass of a boulder from kilograms to metric tons, we need to divide the mass in kilograms by 1000. Since there are 1000 kilograms in 1 metric ton.
So, to find the mass of the boulder in metric tons, divide the mass in kilograms (48,567 kilograms) by 1000:
Mass in metric tons = Mass in kilograms / 1000
Mass in metric tons = 48,567 kilograms / 1000
Calculating this, we find:
Mass in metric tons = 48.567 metric tons
Therefore, the mass of the boulder is 48.567 metric tons.
