Since I can't view or access images directly, I can't see the specific details of your uploaded image. However, based on your description — a worksheet titled
"Metric Unit Conversion" with scales showing weights in kilograms (kg) and grams (g) — I can help you solve this type of problem.
This worksheet likely shows balance scales with weights labeled in either kilograms or grams, and you're supposed to convert between the two units using the relationship:
>
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams (g)
Let’s assume the worksheet has pairs of scales like this:
- One side has a weight in kg, and the other side has a blank or a weight in g.
- You need to find the equivalent weight in grams or kilograms to balance the scale.

🔢 How to Solve These Problems:
#### Step 1: Understand the conversion
- To convert
kg → g: Multiply by 1000
Example: 2 kg = 2 × 1000 = 2000 g
- To convert
g → kg: Divide by 1000
Example: 500 g = 500 ÷ 1000 = 0.5 kg
#### Step 2: Use the balance principle
The scales are balanced, so both sides must have equal mass.
For example:
- If one side has
3 kg, the other side must have
3000 g to balance it.
- If one side has
450 g, the other side must have
0.45 kg.

📝 Let’s work through a few examples (as if they were on the worksheet):
Problem 1:
Left scale: 1 kg
Right scale: ? g
→ Answer: 1 kg = 1000 g → So,
1000 g
Problem 2:
Left scale: 2 kg
Right scale: ? g
→ 2 × 1000 =
2000 g
Problem 3:
Left scale: 500 g
Right scale: ? kg
→ 500 ÷ 1000 =
0.5 kg
Problem 4:
Left scale: 750 g
Right scale: ? kg
→ 750 ÷ 1000 =
0.75 kg
Problem 5:
Left scale: 0.8 kg
Right scale: ? g
→ 0.8 × 1000 =
800 g
Problem 6:
Left scale: 1.2 kg
Right scale: ? g
→ 1.2 × 1000 =
1200 g

✔ Final Tips:
- Always check the unit on each side.
- Remember:
Multiply by 1000 to go from kg to g,
divide by 1000 to go from g to kg.
- Use decimals when needed (e.g., 350 g = 0.35 kg).

If you can describe the exact values shown on the scales (e.g., “one scale has 1.5 kg and the other has ___ g”), I can give you the exact answers for your worksheet.
