metric system conversions
1)3.68kg = ? g
(3.68 kg) (10^-3 / 1kg) = 3.68 x 10^-2 g
2) 568cm = ? m
(568cm) (1 m /100cm) = 5.68 m
Are these correct?
1)
1 kg = 1000 g
3.68 kg = 3.68 * 1000 = 3680 g
2)
1 m = 100 cm
1 cm = 1 / 100 = 0.01 m
568 cm = 568 / 100 = 5.68 * 0.01 = 5.68 m

568 cm = 568 / 100 = 568 * 0.01 = 5.68 m
Right!
Yes, your conversions for both questions are correct.
For the first question, to convert kilograms (kg) to grams (g), you multiply the given value by 10^-3 (since there are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram). So, (3.68 kg) (10^-3 / 1 kg) = 3.68 x 10^-2 g.
For the second question, to convert centimeters (cm) to meters (m), you multiply the given value by 1 m / 100 cm (since there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter). So, (568 cm) (1 m / 100 cm) = 5.68 m.
