Question

matter review if an object has a mass of 0.35 g, what is that mass in cg? 0.0035 cg 35 cg 35,000 cg 350 cg slide 4 of 14 previous next

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\space g = 100\space cg\) (since "cg" stands for centigram, and "centi-" means \(10^{- 2}\), but when converting grams to centigrams, we use the inverse, so \(1\space g=100\space cg\)).

Step2: Perform the conversion

To convert \(0.35\space g\) to \(cg\), we multiply the mass in grams by the conversion factor. So, \(0.35\space g\times\frac{100\space cg}{1\space g}\). The \(g\) units cancel out, and we have \(0.35\times100 = 35\space cg\).

Answer:

35 cg (corresponding to the option "35 cg")
