What is the equivalent of 1000 grams in kilograms?

1 kg
0.1 kg
10 kg
100 kg

The correct answer is: 1 kg

To understand why 1000 grams is equivalent to 1 kilogram, it's essential to recall the relationship between grams and kilograms in the metric system. The metric system is based on powers of ten, and specifically, 1 kilogram (kg) is defined as being equal to 1000 grams (g). Thus, when converting grams to kilograms, you divide the number of grams by 1000. Therefore: 1000 grams ÷ 1000 = 1 kilogram. This conversion makes it clear why the answer is correct. Since 1000 grams equals 1 kilogram, it demonstrates the direct correlation between these two units of mass.
