Using the table on the right, perform the following metric unit conversions. Type your answer in the space provided.

1. [tex]0.001087 \, \text{kg} = \, X \quad \Rightarrow \, 1.087 \, \text{g}[/tex]
(Hint: 1 kg = 1000 g)

2. [tex]25 \, \text{mL} = 0.025 \, \text{L}[/tex]
(Hint: 1 mL = 0.001 L)

3. [tex]531 \, \text{ms} = \, \square \, \text{s}[/tex]
(Hint: 1 ms = 0.001 s)

To convert milliseconds (ms) to seconds (s), we use the fact that 1 millisecond is equal to 0.001 seconds.

Given:
531 milliseconds (ms)

To find how many seconds this equals, we divide the number of milliseconds by 1000 (since there are 1000 milliseconds in a second):

[tex]\[ 531 \, \text{ms} = 531 \times 0.001 \, \text{s} \][/tex]

So:
[tex]\[ 531 \, \text{ms} = 0.531 \, \text{s} \][/tex]

Therefore, 531 milliseconds is equal to 0.531 seconds.
