1 one thousandths from a gram (0.001 g)
We trust the accuracy in science and medicine
because there are exactly 1000 milligrams in 1 gram.

Larger Measurement from a milligram

1 gram
(1 g)

milli is the prefix meaning
1 one thousandth (0.001).
So there are exactly 1000 milligrams
in the unit of measure gram
and 1 gram is simply written 1 g

 Larger Measurement from a gram

1 kilogram
(1 kg)

kilo is the prefix
meaning 1000 times as much.
So, 1 000 g (grams) is the mass
of 1 kg (kilogram).
Pronounced "KILL-oh-gram"
NOT "kill-AH-gram".

Larger Measurement from a kilogram

1 tonne
(1 t)

There are exactly 1000 kg (kilograms)
in 1 t (spelled tonne) (said "ton")

DID YOU KNOW?
that you can divide 1 meter by exactly 10 equal parts
(10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm)
then make a cube (1000 cmณ) of it to fill with water
and you will find that it contains exactly 1 L (1 liter)
(1000 mL) of water
and is the mass of exactly 1 kg (1 kilogram) (1000 g)

 

 

AND THAT

1 cmณ (1 cubic centimeter)

filled with water contains exactly
1 mL (1 milliliter)

and is the mass  of exactly 1 g
(1 gram)
