How many kilograms in 00000001 grams?
0.0000001 g = 0.000000001 kg OR 1 x 10-9 (scientific notation)
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
255 g = 0.255 kg
To convert from g to kg, divide by 1000.
What is the formula of converting kilograms to tons?
example how many kilograms is 6 tons

How do you change metric units into other metric units?
The answer depends on whether they are measures of the same or different characteristic.
There is no simple conversion from metre (distance) to kilogram (mass). The link with the water was scrapped more than 50 years ago!
For measures of the same characteristic, it involves multiplication or division by powers of 10. But make sure you take full account of the power when the characteristic is a squared or cubed unit (eg square metres to square millimetres or cubic metres to cubic centimetres).
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that
1 ft=12 inches
5 ft =1 2X 5=60 in
What metric unit is used to record changes in distance?
The metre is the metric unit for distance. You can also use fractions like cm, or multiples like km.
Lengths - including wavelengths - are measured in meters. Of course, multiple or sub-multiples such as kilometers, nanometers, etc. may be used in practice.
By unit of length and distance and conversion ,we can say that
1 ft =12 in
8 ft = 96 in
8.85 ft = 96+85 = 181 in
