Measurement-Weight

Weight is how heavy an object or item is. The standard forms of measuring weight are tonnes (T), kilograms (kg) and grams (g). To measure these things, people often use scales or balance scale.

Estimating is an educated guess to the amount of something. If a person knows that the weight of a stick is 3 markers, then they can compare the markers on a scale. If they know the weight of the markers then they can make an estimation.

To convert kilograms to tonnes, divide the number by one thousand. To convert grams to kilograms divide by one thousand. If the measurement is 18 kg, then divide by one thousand the numbers shift to right.
