All you need is some basic explanation of metric system prefixes. Centi means 1/100 and mili means 1/1000. Notice that 1000 is ten times 100 therefor all you have to do to solve your problem is find 10 times the amount of centigrams. For ten times the amount of centigrams will give you the equivalent amount of milligrams. Good luck.
