What is the equivalent of 1,000 grams in kilograms?

1 kg
100 kg
10 kg
0.1 kg

The correct answer is: 1 kg

To convert grams to kilograms, it's important to understand the relationship between these two units of measurement. One kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, when you have 1,000 grams, you can convert it to kilograms by dividing by 1,000. So, 1,000 grams divided by 1,000 equals 1 kilogram. This shows that the equivalent of 1,000 grams is indeed 1 kg. The other values do not correctly represent the conversion from grams to kilograms. For instance, 100 kg would be equivalent to 100,000 grams, 10 kg would equal 10,000 grams, and 0.1 kg would correspond to only 100 grams. Hence, the correct conversion confirms that 1,000 grams is equivalent to 1 kilogram.
