What is the correct conversion of 35,400 milligrams to grams (g)?

  • A. 35.4 g
  • B. 35.4 g
  • C. 354 g
  • D. 354,000 g
Correct Answer: B

Rationale: To convert milligrams to grams, you need to divide by 1,000 because there are 1,000 milligrams in a gram. Therefore, 35,400 mg · 1,000 = 35.4 grams. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the conversion from milligrams to grams. Choice C is incorrect as it incorrectly drops a zero, leading to an inaccurate conversion. Choice D is incorrect as it incorrectly multiplies instead of dividing, resulting in a significantly larger value than the correct answer.
