Questions: You want to determine how many grams are in 43 mg. What choice goes in the green box? 43 mg [?] 43 mg 10^3 10^-3 g 1 mg

Solution Steps

To convert milligrams (mg) to grams (g), we need to know the conversion factor. The relationship between milligrams and grams is:

\[ 1 \, \text{mg} = 10^{-3} \, \text{g} \]

Given that we have 43 mg, we can convert this to grams using the conversion factor:

\[ 43 \, \text{mg} \times 10^{-3} \, \text{g/mg} = 0.043 \, \text{g} \]

The correct choice that represents the conversion factor from milligrams to grams is \(10^{-3} \, \text{g}\).
