The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify what `10^(-3)` grams is called among the given options: kilogram, milligram, decigram, or microgram. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Powers of Ten**: - We know that the metric system uses powers of ten to define different units of mass. - For example: - 1 kilogram (kg) = \(10^3\) grams (g) - 1 gram (g) = \(10^0\) grams - 1 decigram (dg) = \(10^{-1}\) grams - 1 centigram (cg) = \(10^{-2}\) grams - 1 milligram (mg) = \(10^{-3}\) grams - 1 microgram (µg) = \(10^{-6}\) grams 2. **Identifying the Correct Unit**: - The question specifically asks for `10^(-3)` grams. - From our understanding, `10^(-3)` grams is equivalent to 1 milligram. 3. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, `10^(-3)` grams is called **milligram**. ### Final Answer: `10^(-3)` gram is called **milligram**. ---
