How many grams are equivalent to a kilogram?

1,000 grams
100 grams
10 grams
500 grams

The correct answer is: 1,000 grams

A kilogram is a standard unit of mass in the metric system, and it is defined as being equal to 1,000 grams. This relationship is fundamental to the metric system, which is based on powers of ten. When measuring mass, knowing that there are 1,000 grams in a kilogram allows for easy conversion between the two units. For example, if you have a mass of 2 kilograms, you would multiply by 1,000 to find that you have 2,000 grams. The other choices reflect values that do not correspond to this standard measurement; they either underestimate or, in the case of 500 grams, represent only half of a kilogram. Understanding these conversions is essential for accurate measurement and communication in both scientific and everyday contexts.
