One of the more unusual of world wonders is the plain of jars in laos. Several hundred huge stone jars, which do not seem to made from rock, are scattered across the plain. The largest of these jars has a mass of around 6.0 x 10^3 kg. Express this mass in

A. milligrams
B. mega-grams

10^6 mg = 1 kg

1 Megagram (Mg) = 10^3 kg
Multiply by the appropriate factors, 10^6 mg/kg and 10^-3 Mg/kg.

a. 6 x 10^9 mg

b. 6 Mg

To answer these two questions, we need to convert the given mass from kilograms to milligrams and megagrams (metric tons).

A. To convert from kilograms to milligrams, we need to multiply the given mass by 1,000,000. This is because there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram, and 1,000 grams in a kilogram.

Mass in milligrams = (6.0 x 10^3) kg x (1,000,000 mg / 1 kg)
Mass in milligrams = 6.0 x 10^3 x 1,000,000
Mass in milligrams = 6.0 x 10^9 mg

Therefore, the mass of the largest jar is approximately 6.0 x 10^9 milligrams.

B. To convert from kilograms to megagrams, we need to divide the given mass by 1,000,000. This is because there are 1,000 kilograms in a metric ton (megagram).

Mass in megagrams = (6.0 x 10^3) kg / (1,000,000 kg / 1 Mg)
Mass in megagrams = 6.0 x 10^3 / 1,000,000
Mass in megagrams = 6.0 x 10^3 x 10^-6
Mass in megagrams = 6.0 x 10^-3 Mg

Therefore, the mass of the largest jar is approximately 6.0 x 10^-3 megagrams, which is equivalent to 0.006 megagrams.

6.0 X 10^3 kg
