Question

Complete each of the following metric relationships:

(a)$1mg=\underline{}g$

(b)$1mL=\underline{}\mu L$

(c)$1g=\underline{}Kg$

(d)$1g=\underline{}mg$

Short answer

Required metric relations are:

(a) $1mg=\underline{{10}^{-3}}g$

(b)$1mL=\underline{1000}\mu L$

(c)$1g=\underline{{10}^{-3}}Kg$

(d)$1g=\underline{1000}mg$

Step-by-step solution

Part(a) Step 1: Given information

We need to fill in the blank

$1mg=\underline{}g$

Part(a) Step 2: Explanation

Using mass units, we get

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 1g=1000mg \\ \Rightarrow 1mg={10}^{-3}g \end{gathered}$$

Part(b) Step 1: Given information

We need to fill in the blank

$1mL=\underline{}\mu L$

Part(b) Step 2: Explanation

Using mass units, we get

$1mL=\underline{1000}\mu L$

Part(c) Step 1: Given information

We need to fill in the blank

$1g=\underline{}Kg$

Part(c) Step 2: Explanation

Using mass units, we get

$1g=\underline{{10}^{-3}}Kg$

Part(d) Step 1: Given information

We need to fill in the blank:$1g=\underline{}mg$

Part(d) Step 2: Explanation

Using mass units, we get

$1g=\underline{{10}^3}mg$
