5.2 Kilograms

The order of measurements goes as follows:

A kilogram is 1000 grams

A hectogram is 100 grams

A decagram is 10 grams

A gram is the base, or 1 gram

A decigram is .1 gram

A centigram is .01 gram

A milligram is .001 gram

when looking for the conversion, find your original measurement, and go either left or right until you get to your desired measurement. The number of times you move to the left or right is equivalent to the number of times you move the decimal to the left or right.

K H D G d c m

Example:

Original measurement: 520000 cg.

Desired measurement: x Kg

Kilogram is 5 spaces to the left of centigram so the decimal is moved from the end of 520000 to five spaces to the left.

5.20000 Kg is your answer :)
