The
International System of Units is called "SI"
milligram
(mg)
Use the symbol

1 one thousandths from a gram

Larger
Measurement from a
milligram

Remember, 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

Remember, 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

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

DID
YOU KNOW? ( Video)
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)
ALL SIMPLY RELATED IN 10!

1 cmณ (1 cubic centimeter)
|
filled with water contains exactly
1 mL (1 milliliter) |
and is the
