Metric Conversion for Weight

The metric conversion for weights is grounded on a kilogram. A kilogram is equal to 2.2 pounds. A gram is equivalent in size to one thousandth of a kilogram. A milligram is identical to one-thousandth of a gram and it often used as weighing medicines. For big weights, it is helpful to know a metric ton is roughly 2,204 pounds. As the metric system is grounded on the power of 10, it is simple to subtract, add, divide, or multiply by 10 the amount of grams, kilograms, metric tons, and milligrams to define the weight conversion rate.
