Question 83

Question. 83

Convert 5201 g to kg.

Answer:

\(5.201\,\text{kg}\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Remember: \(1000\,\text{g} = 1\,\text{kg}\).

Step 1: Change grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.

\(5201\,\text{g} = \dfrac{5201}{1000}\,\text{kg}\)

Step 2: Split it to see the parts clearly.

\(\dfrac{5201}{1000} = 5 + \dfrac{201}{1000}\)

Step 3: Write the small fraction as a decimal.

\(\dfrac{201}{1000} = 0.201\)

Step 4: Add the parts.

\(5 + 0.201 = 5.201\)

Therefore: \(5201\,\text{g} = 5.201\,\text{kg}\).

Quick check: move the decimal 3 places left (because 1000 has three zeros):

\(5201.0 \rightarrow 5.201\)
