Practice makes perfect
Let's start by copying the given statement. 6000g&= kg Converting between grams (g) and kilograms (kg) will involve using a conversion factor. 1kg/1000g Multiplying 6000g by this conversion factor will convert it to kilograms.
6000g*1kg/1000g
6000g* 1kg/1000g
6000g* 1kg/1000g
6000* 1kg/1000
6000kg/1000
6kg
To complete the given statement, we will substitute 6 into the blank space. 6000g&=6kg
