(3-4) Mass Units.

The mass is a measure of the amount

of matter in an object. The unit used
to measure the mass of sugar, rice,

apple, ....etc is kilogram (kg).

But, items like ginger, chilies etc.
are measured in gram (g).

In order to measure the mass of compounds or chemicals in
medicines, we use a smaller unit called milligram (mg).

The relations between these three units of

measurements of Mass:
1 kilogram (kg)= 1000 grams (g)

1 gram (g)= 1000 milligrams (mg)

1 kilograms (kg)= 1,000,000 milligrams (mg) explain.
