1. Problem Description

The problem asks to convert different mass units:
a) Convert 28 kg to grams.
b) Convert 324500 mg to grams.
c) Convert 3 cg to hectograms.
d) Convert 500 mg to grams.
e) Convert 0.65 dag to milligrams.

2. Solution Steps

a) Convert 28 kg to grams:
We know that 1 kg = 1000 g.
Therefore, 28 kg = 28 * 1000 g = 28000 g.
b) Convert 324500 mg to grams:
We know that 1 g = 1000 mg, so 1 mg = 11000\frac{1}{1000} g = 0.001 g.
Therefore, 324500 mg = 324500 * 0.001 g = 324.5 g.
c) Convert 3 cg to hectograms:
We know the following relationships:
1 hg = 100 g
1 g = 100 cg
Therefore, 1 hg = 100 g = 100 * 100 cg = 10000 cg.
So, 1 cg = 110000\frac{1}{10000} hg = 0.0001 hg.
Therefore, 3 cg = 3 * 0.0001 hg = 0.0003 hg.
d) Convert 500 mg to grams:
We know that 1 g = 1000 mg, so 1 mg = 11000\frac{1}{1000} g = 0.001 g.
Therefore, 500 mg = 500 * 0.001 g = 0.5 g.
e) Convert 0.65 dag to milligrams:
We know the following relationships:
1 dag = 10 g
1 g = 1000 mg
Therefore, 1 dag = 10 * 1000 mg = 10000 mg.
So, 0.65 dag = 0.65 * 10000 mg = 6500 mg.

3. Final Answer

a) 28 kg = 28000 g
b) 324500 mg = 324.5 g
c) 3 cg = 0.0003 hg
d) 500 mg = 0.5 g
e) 0.65 dag = 6500 mg
