1 gram (g) = 1,000 milligrams (mg).

Explanation

• The metric system defines a gram as the base unit of mass.
• A milligram is a smaller unit, where: 1 mg=1/1000 g
• Therefore, it takes 1,000 milligrams to make 1 gram.

Examples

1. 0.5 grams = 0.5×1000=500 mg
2. 2 grams = 2×1000=2000 mg
3. 10 milligrams = 10/1000=0.01 g
