The mass of a 475 cm long string is 1.2 kg.
If the mass distribution is uniform, find its linear mass density in microgram per millimeterscale.
:
Change 475 cm to millimeters: 10(475) = 4750 = 4.75(10^4)
Change 1.2 kg to microgram: 1.2(10^3) * (10^6) = 1.2(10^9) micrograms

            The solution and the answer by @ankor both are incorrect,
            so I came to bring the correct solution/answer.


The mass of a 475 cm long string is 1.2 kg.
If the mass distribution is uniform, find its linear mass density in microgram per millimeter scale.
:
Convert 475 cm to millimeters: 10(475) = 4750 = 4.75(10^4)
Convert 1.2 kg to microgram: 1.2(10^3) * (10^6) = 1.2(10^9) micrograms
