Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3,200

When converting from kilograms to grams, the decimal point is moved three points to the right, or 3,200 grams. When converting from a smaller measurement (milligrams) to a larger measurement (grams), the decimal point moves to the left; when converting from larger to smaller, the decimal point moves to the right.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1 1/2 (1.5)

1,500 mg = 1.5 grams. This conversion is made by moving the decimal point three places to the left. When converting from a smaller measurement (milligrams) to a larger measurement (grams), the decimal point moves to the left; when converting from larger to smaller, the decimal point moves to the right.
