Where this conversion comes up
Kilograms are used for body weight, luggage and groceries outside the US; grams for food labels, baking scales and jewelry. A kilogram is exactly 1,000 grams, so 1.5 kg of flour is 1,500 g and 0.25 kg is 250 g. Baking scales usually switch between the two automatically.
Quick estimate
Multiply by 1,000: move the decimal point three places right.
Common mistakes
- Dividing instead of multiplying. A gram is smaller than a kilogram, so the number of grams must come out larger: 0.5 kilograms = 500 g.
