How to Convert Metric Tonnes to Grams
Example: How many grams are equivalent to 54.48 metric tonnes?
As;
1 metric tonnes = 1000000 grams
54.48 metric tonnes = Y grams
Assuming Y is the answer, and by criss-cross principle;
Y equals 54.48 times 1000000 over 1
(i.e.) Y = 54.48 * 1000000 / 1 = 54480000 grams
Answer is: 54480000 grams are equivalent to 54.48 metric tonnes.
