Convert 0.0345 kilograms to grams (g).

  • A. 3.45 grams
  • B. 34.5 grams
  • C. 345 grams
  • D. 3450 grams
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert kilograms to grams, you need to multiply by 1,000 since 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams. Therefore, 0.0345 kg multiplied by 1,000 equals 34.5 grams. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not correctly convert kilograms to grams. A states 3.45 grams, which is off by a factor of 10. C and D overestimate the conversion by considering the decimal point in the original value as a whole number. Hence, the correct answer is B, 34.5 grams.
