To convert grams to kilograms, you need to use the relationship between grams and kilograms. Specifically, 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams.
Here are the detailed steps for the conversion:
1. Start with the number of grams you want to convert. In this case, you have 8 grams.
2. Understand that 1 kilogram is equal to 1000 grams. This means that you need to divide the number of grams by 1000 to convert to kilograms.
3. Perform the division:
[tex]\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{\text{grams}}{1000}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given value:
[tex]\[
\text{kilograms} = \frac{8}{1000}
\][/tex]
4. Simplify the fraction:
[tex]\[
\text{kilograms} = 0.008
\][/tex]
Therefore, 8 grams is equal to 0.008 kilograms.
