Strategy Plan STEP 1: What unit is asked for in the answer? STEP 2: What given value is related to the answer? STEP 3: What unit factor(s) should we apply? Given that 1 kg = 1000 g, and 1 Mg = 1,000,000 g, the two pairs of unit factors are Unit Analysis Map given value 5.98 x 1024 kg unit factor 1 1 kg 1000 g or Step 1: Step 2: Step 3: 1000 g 1 kg 5.98 1 kg 1000 g 1 Mg 1,000,000 g unit factor 2 1 Mg 1,000,000 g or Mg x or or 1,000,000 g 1 Mg 1024 kg 1000 g 1 kg 1,000,000 g 1 Mg unit in answer ? Mg =
