This image shows a balance scale in which both the sides are equal.
A.
6,000 milligrams
B.
600 milligrams
C.
0.6 milligram
D.
60 milligrams
The weight of the 6-gram weight is equal to the weight of the ballet slipper. Therefore, the weight of the ballet slipper is 6 grams or 6,000 milligrams.
Answer: A. 6,000 milligrams

To find the weight of the slipper in milligrams, we need to know the weight of the 6-gram weight on the other side of the balance scale. Since the balance scale is shown to be equal, we can assume that the weight of the slipper is also 6 grams.
To convert grams to milligrams, we multiply by 1,000 (1,000 milligrams = 1 gram).
Therefore, the weight of the slipper in milligrams is 6 grams * 1,000 milligrams/gram = 6,000 milligrams.
So, the correct answer is A. 6,000 milligrams.
To find the weight of the ballet slipper in milligrams, we first need to convert the weight of the 6-gram weight to milligrams since the other side of the scale is measured in milligrams.
According to the information given, 1 gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams. Therefore, we can convert 6 grams to milligrams by multiplying 6 by 1,000:
6 grams x 1,000 milligrams/gram = 6,000 milligrams
So, the weight of the 6-gram weight is 6,000 milligrams.
Since the balance scale is shown to be equal, the weight of the ballet slipper must also be 6,000 milligrams.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A) 6,000 milligrams.
