Question

required information
a crate has a mass of $10.1 \times 10^6$ mg (milligrams).
note: this is a multi - part question. once an answer is submitted, you will be unable to return to this part.
what is the mass of the crate in grams?
the mass of the crate is \boxed{} grams.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the conversion factor

We know that \(1\) gram \( = 1000\) milligrams, or \(1\space g=10^{3}\space mg\). So to convert milligrams to grams, we divide the mass in milligrams by \(10^{3}\) (or multiply by \(10^{- 3}\)).

Step2: Convert the given mass

The mass of the crate is \(10.1\times10^{6}\space mg\). To convert to grams, we use the conversion factor:
\[

$$\begin{align*} \text{Mass in grams}&=(10.1\times 10^{6}\space mg)\times\frac{1\space g}{10^{3}\space mg}\\ &=10.1\times10^{6 - 3}\space g\\ &=10.1\times 10^{3}\space g\\ & = 10100\space g \end{align*}$$

\]

Answer:

\(10100\)
