Ahippopotamus weight 156 grams convert the hippotamus weight to
kilograms

If a hippopotamus weight is 1,560,000 in grams (g), its weight in kilograms will be 1,560 kg.

The question, as presented on gram and kilogram, is based on a mathematical topic called: Metric system of units which is now also known as the international system of the unit.

The topic entails converting one unit to another; from kilogram to gram; from gram to kilogram using specific formulas.

Therefore, when converting from grams to kilograms, you simply divide the number of the given number of grams by 1000. The SI unit of the gram is ''g'' while the SI of Kilogram is 'kg'.

Given that,

Gram, g = 1560000

kilogram, kg = unknown.

Formula: kg = Gram (g)/1000

Let us represent the unknown 'kg' by x.

X= g/1000

X= 1560000/1000

X= 1560 kg

Thus, the hippopotamus which weighs 1560000 in grams, when converted to the kilogram, will weigh 1560kg in a kilogram.

Note: Formula: kg = Gram (g)/1000 is the formula to be used when converting gram to kilogram.
