To compare 43 mg and 5 g, we first need to convert both measurements to the same unit. In this case, we’ll convert grams to milligrams since it’s easier to understand small amounts in milligrams.
1 gram is equal to 1000 milligrams. Therefore, to convert 5 grams to milligrams, we multiply 5 by 1000:
5 g × 1000 = 5000 mg
Now we have:
- 43 mg
- 5000 mg
Clearly, 5000 mg is much larger than 43 mg. So, 5 g is definitely bigger than 43 mg.
