Question

ok how would i convert grams into kilograms? and also how would i convert 4534 centimeters to meters? your answer is greatly appreciated thank you!

Answer 1

1 kilogram = 1,000 gram because in metric kilo- means 1,000.

 

Similarly, centi- means 0.01. In other words 1 meter = 100 centimeters. So, 4534 centimeters divided by 100 (the conversion factor from cm to m) gives you 45.34 meters.
