You're trying to convert 60 grains to grams. Which set of equivalents should you use to solve your problem?

A. 1 grain = 60 mg; 1 g = 1,000 mg
B. 1 grain = 65 mg; 1 g = 1,000 mg
C. 1 grain = 0.0648 g

Answer :

To convert 60 grains to grams, we can use the fact that

[tex]$$
1 \text{ grain} = 0.0648 \text{ g}.
$$[/tex]

This means that in order to find the number of grams in 60 grains, we multiply the number of grains by the conversion factor:

[tex]$$
60 \text{ grains} \times 0.0648 \frac{\text{g}}{\text{grain}} = 3.888 \text{ g}.
$$[/tex]

Thus, 60 grains is equivalent to 3.888 grams.

The conversion used here, namely

[tex]$$
1 \text{ grain} = 0.0648 \text{ g},
$$[/tex]

corresponds to the third option in the provided list.
