What is the weight equivalent of 1,000 grams?

a decagram
a gram
a pound
a kilogram

The correct answer is: a kilogram

One thousand grams is equivalent to one kilogram. The metric system is decimal-based, where various units are scaled by powers of ten. In this system, "kilo" means one thousand. Therefore, when you convert grams to kilograms, you divide the number of grams by 1,000. In this case, 1,000 grams divided by 1,000 equals 1 kilogram. This relationship is crucial in understanding the metric system, as it allows for straightforward conversions within its hierarchy. Recognizing these conversions can aid in problem-solving and measurement in various scenarios, especially in scientific and practical applications where precise measurements are necessary.
