Does anyone know how many micrograms are in one kilogram??

Question

and if you could explain a little bit about how you got that answer that would be great! thanks!

Answer 1

Wow, so many wrong answers above me.

1000 grams = 1 kilogram

1000 milligrams = 1 gram
1,000,000 micrograms = 1 gram

Not that you need this, but 1,000,000,000 nanogram = 1 gram


So we take the middle one!

1,000,000 micrograms = 1 gram
so 1000 x 1,000,000 micrograms = 1 kilogram

Can multiply this, or just add three zeros.

Therefore, there are 1,000,000,000 micrograms in a kilogram
or 10^9 micrograms in a kilogram
or 1 billion micrograms in a kilogram.

Take your pick. They're all right!

Answer 2

To remember the prefixes of the metric units I learned the sentence:
King Henry Died Mary/Liz/Guenevere didn't care much.
King = Kilo = 1,000 or 10^3
Henry = Hecto = 100 or 10^2
Died = Deca = 10
Mary = meter/Liz = litre/Guenevere = gram
didn't = deci or 1/10 or 0.1
care = centi = 1/100 or 0.01
much = milli = 1/1000 or .001

To go from one prefix to any other just write out the letters like a previous answerer stated [using the appropriate name for the unit like Mary for meter]:
K H D M/L/G D C M
put the decimal after the letter representing whatever unit you have and then count how many times and in which direction you move it to get to the units you want. Then do the same for your number.

Now, I do not know how to get the modern prefixes into a sentence, but they are
Giga - 1,000,000,000 or billion
Mega - 1,000,000 or million

micro 1/1,000,000 or one-millionth
nano 1/1,000,000,000 or one-billionth
There locations on the scale are
Giga Mega_ _ K H D m/l/g/ D C M _ _ micro nano
But, the concept of just moving the decimal point over is the same.
So, from Kilo to micro is nine places to the right. 1 Kg is then 1,000,000,000micrograms .

Answer 3

There are 1,000,000 micrograms in one gram. There are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. To convert this, just add three zeros at the end, of 1,000,000,+000. In other words, there are one billion [1,000,000,000] micrograms in one kilogram.

Answer 4

Multiples and submultiples of metric units are related by powers of ten; the names for these are formed with prefixes. This relationship is compatible with the decimal system of numbers and it contributes greatly to the convenience of metric units. The most commonly used prefixes for values above the base unit are hecto- (hundred), kilo- (thousand) and mega- (million); and the most commonly used for parts of the base value (i.e. below the base value) are deci- (tenth), centi- (hundredth) and milli- (thousandth). Some of the common prefixes are, however, rarely used for some units: the expressions hectometre, megametre and megagram are hardly ever heard, neither are decigram and centigram, while hectogram (often shortened to hecto), megalitre, decimetre and centimetre are commonly used measures in many countries.

Answer 5

1 ug = 10 ^ -6 g
1 kg = 10 ^ 3 g

so 1 kg = 10 ^ 9 g = 1,000,000,000 g

Answer 6

1000 mcg = 1 g
1000 g = 1 kg

so 1000 x 1000= 1000000 mcg in one kg.


there ya go

Answer 7

1 kilogram = 1 000 000 000 micrograms
I google search it.

Answer 8

1g=1,000,000 micro grams (take your point, go to the right 6 places, 1.0 gram=1000000.00 micro gram)

1,000.00gram=1,000,000,000.00 micro grams
Hope this help.

Answer 9

1000000
