6. Rank the following masses from smallest to largest: A) 41 g, B) 8.3 x 108 μg, C) 3.5 x 10-2
mg, and D) 4132 kg. 

To rank these masses from smallest to largest, we need to convert all of them to the same unit. Let's convert everything to grams (g) for consistency:

### Step-by-step conversions:

1. **A) 41 g**  
   - Already in grams.

2. **B) \( 8.3 \times 10^8 \, \mu g \)**  
   - \( 1 \, \mu g = 10^{-6} \, g \).  
   - So, \( 8.3 \times 10^8 \, \mu g = 8.3 \times 10^8 \times 10^{-6} \, g = 8.3 \times 10^2 \, g = 830 \, g \).

3. **C) \( 3.5 \times 10^{-2} \, mg \)**  
   - \( 1 \, mg = 10^{-3} \, g \).  
   - So, \( 3.5 \times 10^{-2} \, mg = 3.5 \times 10^{-2} \times 10^{-3} \, g = 3.5 \times 10^{-5} \, g = 0.000035 \, g \).

4. **D) 4132 kg**  
   - \( 1 \, kg = 1000 \, g \).  
   - So, \( 4132 \, kg = 4132 \times 1000 \, g = 4.132 \times 10^6 \, g \).

### Now, let's list them all in grams:
- A) 41 g
- B) 830 g
- C) 0.000035 g
- D) 4,132,000 g

### Ranked from smallest to largest:
**C) 0.000035 g < A) 41 g < B) 830 g < D) 4,132,000 g**

2. How would you convert kilograms to milligrams?
3. What is the scientific notation for a very small mass, such as nanograms (ng)?
4. How do you convert from metric tons to grams?
5. How would you rank volumes if given different units like liters and milliliters?

**Tip:** When converting units, always ensure consistency by converting everything to the same base unit (e.g., grams) before comparing.
