Understanding Kilograms and Grams
Kilograms (kg) and grams (g) are units of mass in the metric system. A kilogram is the base unit of mass, while a gram is a smaller unit, with 1 kilogram being equal to 1000 grams.
Formula: To convert kilograms to grams, you multiply the mass in kilograms by 1000. Grams (g) = Kilograms (kg) × 1000
Use Cases: This conversion is commonly used in recipes (converting ingredient weights), in science (for measurements in experiments), and in everyday life when dealing with different scales of mass. For example, large quantities of fruits might be measured in kilograms, while spices in recipes are often measured in grams.
