Respuesta :

8.54 hg (C or the third option) is NOT the same as 8,540 centigrams but rather 0.0854 kg and the other answers are the same as 8,540.

Answer: 8.54 hg

Explanation:

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a substance.

It can be measured in units of kilograms (kg), grams (g), milli grams (mg) etc;

These units are interconvertible.

1. 0.00854 kg

[tex]1kg=100000cg[/tex]

Thus [tex]0.0854kg=\frac{100000}{1}\times 0.0854=8540cg[/tex]

2. 85.4 g

[tex]1g=100cg[/tex]

Thus [tex]85.4g=\frac{100}{1}\times 85.4=8540cg[/tex]

3. 8.54 hg

[tex]1hg=10000cg[/tex]

Thus [tex]8.54hg=\frac{10000}{1}\times 8.54=85400cg[/tex]

4. 85400 mg

[tex]1g=0.1cg[/tex]

Thus [tex]85400mg=\frac{0.1}{1}\times 85400=8540cg[/tex]

Thus 8.54 hg is not same as 8540 centigrams.
