Convert 100 grams to kilograms.

  • A. 0.1 kg
  • B. 1 kg
  • C. 10 kg
  • D. 0.01 kg
Correct Answer: A

Rationale: To convert grams to kilograms, you need to divide by 1000 since there are 1000 grams in a kilogram. So, 100 grams divided by 1000 equals 0.1 kilograms, making choice A the correct answer. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not involve the correct conversion factor or calculation. Choice B of 1 kg is the equivalent of 1000 grams, which is 10 times the given value of 100 grams, making it too large. Choice C of 10 kg is 100 times the given value, and choice D of 0.01 kg is 10 times smaller than the correct conversion.
