Solution:
we are given that
Student converts grams to milligrams by multiplying by the conversion factor 1g/1000 mg.
we have been asked to find Is the student performing this calculation correctly?
Suppose you have x grams of something and convert it into mg as follows:
As we know that
[tex]1gram=1000mg[/tex]
So we can write
[tex]xgram=xgram*1=xg*\frac{1000mg}{1g}=1000x[/tex] mg
It mean that conversion factor is [tex]\frac{1000mg}{1g}[/tex]
It mean student doesn't performed the calculations correctly.
