Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the relationship between milligrams and grams. Recall that 1 gram (g) is equal to 1000 milligrams (mg).
Set up the conversion factor to convert milligrams to grams: \(\frac{1\ \text{gram}}{1000\ \text{milligrams}}\).
Multiply the given amount in milligrams by the conversion factor to cancel out milligrams and convert to grams: \$1000\ \text{mg} \times \frac{1\ \text{g}}{1000\ \text{mg}}$.
Simplify the expression by canceling units and performing the division to find the equivalent mass in grams.
Interpret the result to determine how many grams correspond to 1000 milligrams.
