Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the formula for converting between mass and volume of a solution with a known concentration.

Okay, I've got this. 1 kilogram is equal to 1,000 grams, and 1 gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams. So 1 kilogram must be equal to 1,000,000 milligrams.

I'm a little confused by the wording of some of these options. I'll need to re-read them a few times to make sure I'm selecting the right ones. Hopefully, I can narrow it down.
