How many milligrams are in 5 grams?

0.005 mg
50 mg
500 mg
5000 mg

The correct answer is: 5000 mg

To determine how many milligrams are in 5 grams, it's important to understand the relationship between grams and milligrams. The conversion factor is that 1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. To convert grams to milligrams, you multiply the number of grams by 1000. In this case, you would take the 5 grams and perform the calculation: 5 grams × 1000 milligrams/gram = 5000 milligrams. Therefore, when you have 5 grams, it equals 5000 milligrams. This illustrates the multiplication of grams by the conversion factor to arrive at the correct number of milligrams.
