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.
