Questions: Rewrite 4,630 mg in terms of the SI base unit for mass. A. 0.0463 g B. 463 cg C. 0.00463 kg D. 4.63 g

Solution Steps

The problem requires converting a given mass from milligrams (mg) to the SI base unit for mass, which is kilograms (kg).

To convert milligrams to kilograms, we need to understand the relationship between these units:

• \(1 \, \text{kg} = 1,000,000 \, \text{mg}\)

Thus, to convert milligrams to kilograms, we divide the number of milligrams by 1,000,000.

Given: \(4,630 \, \text{mg}\)

Convert to kilograms: \[ 4,630 \, \text{mg} = \frac{4,630}{1,000,000} \, \text{kg} = 0.00463 \, \text{kg} \]
