Question

2.5tonnes can be expressed in in inkg in kg kg as....?

Answer 1

1 tonne = 1000kg
2.5 tonne = 2500 kg

Answer 2

1 metric tonne or just tonnes is equivalent to 1000 kg

That means for every 1 tonne there are 1000kg

To convert from metric tonnes to kilograms you use the conversion factor of 1000 to multiply the given figure

Example:

2.5 tonnes to kgs

If 1 ton = 1000kg

Then 2.5 ton = 1000 x 2.5

                     = 2500 kilograms.

To convert from kilograms to metric tonnes you divide by 1000

Example:

2500 kg to tonnes

2500kg / 1000 = 2.5 tonnes
