Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the units involved: kilograms (kg), grams (g), centigrams (cg), milligrams (mg), and metric tons (t).
Recall the basic conversions: 1 kilogram = 1000 grams, 1 gram = 100 centigrams, 1 gram = 1000 milligrams, and 1 metric ton = 1000 kilograms.
Convert each option to kilograms for comparison:
- For 600 centigrams: Convert centigrams to grams by dividing by 100, then convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.
- For 60,000 milligrams: Convert milligrams to grams by dividing by 1000, then convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.
- For 0.6 metric tons: Convert metric tons to kilograms by multiplying by 1000.
Compare each converted value to 6 kilograms to determine which is equal.
