Question

1. a paperclip has a mass of 250 milligrams. how many grams is this? determine the dimensional analysis

Explanation:

Step1: Recall gram-milligram conversion

$1\ \text{gram} = 1000\ \text{milligrams}$, so $\frac{1\ \text{gram}}{1000\ \text{milligrams}} = 1$

Step2: Convert milligrams to grams

$250\ \text{milligrams} \times \frac{1\ \text{gram}}{1000\ \text{milligrams}}$

Step3: Calculate the final value

$\frac{250}{1000}\ \text{grams} = 0.25\ \text{grams}$

Answer:

0.25 grams
