Convert 4.3 kilograms to centigrams using dimensional analysis.

Asked by killroy

Answer (2)

They are both (kilograms and centigrams) weights with the same dimension (mass), so they can be converted from one to the other.
1 kilogram (kg) = 1000 grams and 1 gram (g) = 100 centigrams (cg)
So, 4.3 kg = 4.3 x 1000 = 4300 g = 4300 x 100 = 430000 = 43 x 10^4 cg.
So, the final answer is --> 430000 centigrams or 43 x 10^4 cg.
