Convert Milligrams to Metric Tons
mg to t · weight & mass conversion
What are milligrams and metric tons?
A milligram is one-thousandth of a gram, used for medication doses and tiny quantities. A metric ton is 1,000 kilograms, used for vehicles, cargo, and bulk materials. For scale: a 70 kg adult weighs about 154 lb, and a bag of sugar is usually 1 kg (2.2 lb).
How to convert milligrams to metric tons
1 mg = 1.0000e-9 t. To convert, multiply the number of milligrams by 1.0000e-9. For example, 5 mg = 5.0000e-9 t, and 20 mg = 2.0000e-8 t. To go the other way, multiply metric tons by 1,000,000,000 (since 1 t = 1,000,000,000 mg).
