Cheyenne -- I've given you all the tips I can. It's now up to you to learn how to do these metric conversions so that you'll be confident when you show your teacher that you know how to do them.

Answer 3

I do understand it.But I don't see how I divided.

Answer 4

Then how did you get that answer??

0.2 mg = 0.0002 g

Answer 5

My mom helped me.But she really doesn't understand this.
Should I multiply??

Answer 6

What do you have to do to 0.2 to get 0.0002?

1 g = 1,000 mg

Answer 7

Well,I personally think multiply.But of course I suck at math.What I got when I tried a little bit ago,was 0.002.

Answer 8

Here is a mnemonic to help with metric conversions.
kilo
hecto
deka
gram(or other unit)
deci
centi
milli

You need two rules to use the table. Going down the table move the decimal point to the right. Going up the table move the decimal point to the left.
1.2 kg to grams. Move down 1 to hecto, a second to deka, and a third to gram. So we move the decimal point three places to the right.
1.2 kg = 1200 grams.

4,000 mg to grams.
Start at milli, move 1 place to centi, a second to deci and a third to gram.
4,000 mg = 4.000 g
