3. Convert each option to kilograms for comparison:
4. - For 600 centigrams: Convert centigrams to grams by dividing by 100, then convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.
5. - For 60,000 milligrams: Convert milligrams to grams by dividing by 1000, then convert grams to kilograms by dividing by 1000.
6. - For 0.6 metric tons: Convert metric tons to kilograms by multiplying by 1000.
7. Compare each converted value to 6 kilograms to determine which is equal.
