using the table of equalities, calculate the number of kilograms (kg) in 952 grams (g). remember to select an answer with the correct number of significant figures.
metric and si prefixes
prefix symbol numerical value scientific notation equality
prefixes that increase the size of the unit
peta p 1 000 000 000 000 000 10^15 1 pg = 10^15 g
tera t 1 000 000 000 000 10^12 1 tg = 10^12 g
giga g 1 000 000 000 10^9 1 gm = 10^9 m
mega m 1 000 000 10^6 1 mg = 10^6 g
kilo k 1 000 10^3 1 km = 10^3 m
prefixes that decrease the size of the unit

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

1 kg = 1000 g, or $1\ g=10^{- 3}\ kg$.

Step2: Convert grams to kilograms

We have 952 g. Multiply by the conversion factor: $952\ g\times\frac{1\ kg}{1000\ g}=0.952\ kg$.

Answer:

0.952 kilograms
