mg
ug


Answer :

Answer:

[tex]16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}[/tex]

[tex]16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}[/tex]

[tex]16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}[/tex]

Explanation:

Mass of dog = [tex]16.1\ \text{kg}[/tex]

[tex]1\ \text{kg}=10^{3}\ \text{g}[/tex]

[tex]1\ \text{kg}=10^{6}\ \text{mg}[/tex]

[tex]1\ \text{kg}=10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}[/tex]

So,

[tex]16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}[/tex]

[tex]16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}[/tex]

[tex]16.1\ \text{kg}=16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}[/tex]

Mass of the dog in the other units is [tex]16.1\times 10^3\ \text{g}[/tex], [tex]16.1\times 10^{6}\ \text{mg}[/tex] and [tex]16.1\times 10^{9}\ \mu\text{g}[/tex].
