Sure, let's convert the mass from milligrams (mg) to grams (g).
1. Identify the given mass:
The mass of the object is 13.77 mg.
2. Understand the conversion factor:
We know that 1 gram (g) is equivalent to 1000 milligrams (mg).
3. Set up the conversion:
To convert milligrams to grams, we need to divide the number of milligrams by the conversion factor (1000 mg per g).
4. Perform the calculation:
[tex]\[
\text{mass in grams} = \frac{\text{mass in milligrams}}{\text{conversion factor}}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{mass in grams} = \frac{13.77 \, \text{mg}}{1000 \, \text{mg/g}}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{mass in grams} = 0.01377 \, \text{g}
\][/tex]
So, the object's mass in grams is 0.01377 g.
