How many grams are in one kilogram?

100 grams
500 grams
750 grams
1000 grams

The correct answer is: 100 grams

The correct answer, which states that there are 1000 grams in one kilogram, is based on the metric system's base unit of mass. In the metric system, the prefix "kilo-" means one thousand. Therefore, one kilogram is defined as exactly 1000 grams. This measurement is fundamental in science and everyday use to ensure consistency and ease of conversion between units of mass. Knowing the metric system's structure is essential for solving problems involving measurements, especially in settings where precision is crucial, such as cooking, laboratory work, or any scientific endeavor. The conversion helps provide clarity and uniformity in communication regarding mass across various disciplines.
