Question

Fill the blank with <,> or =,
3 kg ____ 300 g

Answer 1

Hint: We need to remember the conversion of kilogram to grams. We will use the series as follows-
Kilogram(kg)
Hectogram(hg)
Decagram(dag)
Gram(g)
Decigram(dg)
Centigram(cg)
Milligram(mg)
Each of these is greater than the one below it by a factor if 10.

Complete step-by-step solution -
From the conversion, we can see that
1 kg = 10 hg
1 hg = 10 dag
1 dag = 10 g
On multiplying the three equations, hg and dag get cancelled, hence,
1 kg = 1000 g

So 3 kg = 3000 g
We can rewrite the question as-
3000 g _____ 300 g
We know that 3000 g > 300 g. This is the required answer.

Note: To solve such types of problems we have to convert both the quantities into one unit. That is, both should be in grams or both in kilograms. We can convert both the quantities in kilograms as well. For example-
3000 g = 0.3 kg
3 kg > 0.3 kg
