For 96 kg we have 96000 grams

Explanation:

There are 1000 grams in 1 kilogram

One way to approach this is to use ratio and I am going to present the ration in the format of a fraction. Note that ratio shown this way is #ul("not a fraction of all of something")#

We need to find grams, so use grams as the numerator (top number).

#" "("count of grams")/("count of kilograms") ->1000/1 g/(Kg)#

But we have 96 kilograms so we need to change the 1 in #1000/1# to 96. We can do this by multiplication.

For multiplication of ratios or fractions what we do to the bottom we do to the top. This also true for division.

Multiply #1000/1# by 1 but in the form of #1=96/96#

#color(green)(1000/1xx1" ")color(brown)( =" " 1000/1xx96/96" ")color(blue)(=" "(1000xx96)/(1xx96)g/(kg)#

#=96000/96 g/(kg)#

So for 96 kg we have 96000 grams
