## 📚
Understanding the Basics
The worksheet teaches the relationship between
grams (g) and
kilograms (kg):
>
1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g)
This is the key conversion you’ll use for all the problems.

##
✔ Part 1: Fill in the Blanks (Conversions)
We’ll convert between grams and kilograms using the formula:
- To convert
grams → kilograms: divide by 1,000
- To convert
kilograms → grams: multiply by 1,000
---
1. 3 kg = ______ g
→ 3 × 1,000 =
3,000 g
2. 6,000 g = ______ kg
→ 6,000 ÷ 1,000 =
6 kg
3. 3 kg × 1,000 = 3,000 g
→ Already given — correct!
4. 6,000 ÷ 1,000 = 6 kg
→ Already given — correct!
5. 3 kg = 3,000 g
→ Already given — correct!
6. 6,000 g = 6 kg
→ Already given — correct!
*(These are just reinforcing the conversion — good for practice!)*

✔ Part 3: More Conversions
4. 8 kg = ______ g
→ 8 × 1,000 =
8,000 g
5. 2,000 g = ______ kg
→ 2,000 ÷ 1,000 =
2 kg
6. 3,000 g = ______ kg
→ 3,000 ÷ 1,000 =
3 kg
7. 7 kg = ______ g
→ 7 × 1,000 =
7,000 g
8. 10,000 g = ______ kg
→ 10,000 ÷ 1,000 =
10 kg
9. 30 kg = ______ g
→ 30 × 1,000 =
30,000 g

✔ Part 4: Word Problem
10. Dan’s cat weighs 4 kg. Carl’s cat weighs 2,900 grams. Whose cat is heavier? Explain.
#### Step 1: Convert both to the same unit.
Let’s convert Carl’s cat’s weight to
kilograms:
→ 2,900 g ÷ 1,000 =
2.9 kg
Dan’s cat =
4 kg
#### Step 2: Compare
→ 4 kg > 2.9 kg
✔ Answer: Dan’s cat is heavier.
#### Explanation:
Dan’s cat weighs 4 kilograms, while Carl’s cat weighs only 2.9 kilograms (since 2,900 grams = 2.9 kg). Since 4 is greater than 2.9, Dan’s cat is heavier.
