9.31x10E-2 Mg converted into cg

Question

Using the correct number of significant figures

Answer 1

For some reason, the editing feature of the ANSWER page is not working too well tonight. Anyway, here is my answer, typed somewhat awkwardly: M (upper case) means mega (10^6) m (lower case means milli (10^-3) c means centi (10^-2) 9.31 x 10^-2 Mg = (9.31 x 10^-2)(10^6 g) = 9.31 x 10^4 g 1g = 100 cg 9.31 x 10^-2 Mg = (9.31 x 10^4)(100 cg) = (9.31 x 10^4)(10^2 cg) = 9.31 x 10^6 cg

Answer 2

Mg means milligrams; cg means centigrams.

Replace Mg by 10^-1 cg and then simplify to get the correct answer.
