    Calculation

    A nurse is caring for a newborn who weighs 3,500 g. The nurse should record the newborn's weight as how many kg? (Round the answer to the nearest tenth. Use a leading zero if it applies. Do not use a trailing zero.)

    kg

    Explanation & Rationale

    Weight in grams: 3,500 g Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000 g Calculate the weight in kilograms (kg). Weight (kg) = Weight (g) / 1000 g/kg = 3500 / 1000 = 3.5 kg
