22. Metric Cont’d Ex: How many grams are equal to 500 milligram (MG)? X g = 500mg1g = 1000mg X g = 500 mg X 1g 1000mg = 0.5 gram OR ½ gram

23. Metric Cont’d Example: How many milligrams are in 2 kilograms? X mg = 2kg 1kg = 1000 g 1000 g = 1g 1g = 1000 mg Xmg = 2kg x 1000g x 1000mg 1 kg 1g 2 x1000x1000mg 2, 000,000 mg = 2kg 1 1

24. Metric Cont’d Example: How many micrograms are equal to 0.0005 kg? 1kg =1000g 1g =1000mg 1mg = 1000ug Xug= 0.0005kg x 1000g x 1000mg x 1000ug 1kg 1g 1mg Xug= 0.0005x1000x1000x1000ug =500,000ug 1 x 1 x 1 500,000 ug = 0.0005 kg

25. 3Metric Cont’d The metric system is a system of weights and measurements based on meter (m), gram (g), and liters (L). The metric system uses prefixes eg kilo, milli, micro. Main thing to remember is that ml/ cc is the same thing.
