Step 1: Understand the problem. You need to convert the given mass in kilograms (kg) to grams (g) and milligrams (mg).
Step 2: Recall the conversion factors. 1 kg = 1000 g and 1 g = 1000 mg.
Step 3: Convert kilograms to grams. Multiply the mass in kilograms by 1000 to get the mass in grams.
Step 4: Convert grams to milligrams. Multiply the mass in grams by 1000 to get the mass in milligrams.
Step 5: Verify your conversions by checking if the units cancel out correctly and ensure the final units are in grams and milligrams.
