How to carry out Unit Conversions?

From conversion units, we know that 1 gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg). Thus; 1 g = 1000 mg

Now, we are told that at the post office, she learns that her card is 5 grams too heavy for a common stamp. So, she takes out some of the confetti.

However, each piece weighs 50 milligrams. Converting to grams gives us; 50/1000 = 0.05 grams

Thus, number of pieces to take out = 5/0.05 = 100 pieces
