    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

    Convert the weight from grams to kilograms. 1000 grams = 1 kilogram. To convert 3500 grams to kilograms, we divide: 3500 grams / 1000 grams/kg = 3.5 kg
