1	Problem	We have two objects, one weighing 75 g and the other weighing 1.2 kg. How many times heavier is the 1.2 kg object than the 75 g object?
2	Step	To compare the weights of a 1.2 kg object and a 75 g object, we must convert them to the same unit.

Problem

We have two objects, one weighing 75 g and the other weighing 1.2 kg. How many times heavier is the 1.2 kg object than the 75 g object?

Step

To compare the weights of a 1.2 kg object and a 75 g object, we must convert them to the same unit.

Step

Convert 1.2 kg to grams:

1.2 kg = 1.2 × 1000 = 1200 g

Step

Now that both weights are in grams, we can calculate the ratio of the heavier object (1.2 kg or 1200 g) to the lighter object (75 g):

\$ (1200 g ("heavier object")) / (75 g ("lighter object")) \$

Step

After simplification we get

Step

So, the 1.2 kg object is 16 times heavier than the 75 g object.
