Worksheet 16a: What’s that in grams?
Your scales may have a digital display (left) or a dial display (right).
You need to read them correctly, and you may hae to convert from kilograms (kg) to grams (g).
Remember, to go from kg to g, just move the decimal point three places to the right - like this:
1.0kg = 1000g, 0.1kg = 100g, 0.01kg = 10g
Look at the examples and see if you can do the last two yourself.
The digital scales say 0.98kg
What’s that in grams? = 980g
