\( 5.8 \mathrm{~g}=\square \mathrm{mg} \) Click the icon to view the metric units of mass. \( \begin{array}{l}5.8 \mathrm{~g} \times \frac{\square \mathrm{mg}}{\square \mathrm{g}}=5.8 \times 1,000 \mathrm{mg}=\square \mathrm{mg} \\ \text { (Type integers or decimals.) }\end{array} \)

To convert grams to milligrams, you can use the conversion factor that 1 gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams. So, when you want to convert 5.8 grams: \[ 5.8 \, \text{g} \times \frac{1000 \, \text{mg}}{1 \, \text{g}} = 5.8 \times 1000 \, \text{mg} = 5800 \, \text{mg} \] So, \( 5.8 \mathrm{~g} = 5800 \mathrm{~mg} \). Milligrams are commonly used in healthcare and nutrition for precise dosages. Understanding this conversion is essential, especially when dealing with medications or dietary supplements, where accuracy can significantly impact health outcomes. By utilizing a unit conversion table or calculator, one can avoid the common mistake of misreading values. It’s easy to overlook such conversions when multitasking or managing multiple measurements, so always double-check your work!
