How to Be Romantic with Your Boyfriend

Romance is not overrated. In fact, romance is a key ingredient to any successful relationship. This doesn't mean that taking a moonlit stroll or having a candle lit dinner with your boyfriend is the only way to keep your relationship going; it does mean that you have to figure out what romance means to both of you as a couple and to work hard to give each other love and affection. If you want to know how to be romantic with your boyfriend, just follow these steps.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Being Creative

1. Write "I love you" in hidden places. Your boyfriend would expect you to write "I love you" at the end of a letter or a text message, but he won't expect to see it written in the steam after his shower, in the hot sauce on his morning omelet, or on a blank page of his notebook that he sees when he's about to take notes for class. Finding a creative and unique place to write "I love you" will make him think even more fondly of you when you're not there, and will make him feel more romantic because you've made a special effort to let him know that you care.
   
   • Just doing this once or twice a month can really show your boyfriend that you care. You don't have to overdo it.
2. Make him a mixed CD. This can be a CD that reminds him of "your songs" or one that really takes his musical tastes into account and is a mix of things you actually think he likes. Don't recommend your favorite bands if you know they aren't his thing; but if you really know what he would like, then make him a mixed CD and pop it into his car's CD player when he's not looking. When he turns on the car, he'll get a pleasant surprise.
   
   • Make sure you know what music he listens to, what music he already owns, and what he likes before you go and do this.
3. Make a scrapbook. Put together a scrapbook of all of your most meaningful memories. Put together photos of you together, tickets from your favorite concert, a menu from the restaurant where you first said, "I love you," or notes that you wrote each other throughout the course of your relationship. This can make a great anniversary or birthday gift, or you can give him the book just because.^[1]
   
   • This book will make him see how far you've come in your relationship, and will make him appreciate you even more.
4. Celebrate Valentine's Day early (or late). Who says Valentine's Day is only for February 14th? If you're both busy that day, or if you just want to be romantic on a random Wednesday, then you should plan an celebrating Valentine's Day on whatever day works for you two; you can use this time to shower each other with love and affection, dress up, and eat something delicious.
   
   • This fake Valentine's Day will be extra fun because you both will feel like you're in on a joke.
5. Act like a little kid. Little kids have an infinitive amount of wonder at the state of the world, along with a healthy dose of hope and optimism. So, take a day to just act like a kid with your boyfriend, and see how much your love for each other and the world grows when you do the silly things you loved to do as a kid. You two can go to a carnival, make balloon animals, finger paint, mud wrestle, or just do anything fun and silly that makes you feel more romantic and more alive. Here are some other things you can do:
   
   • Blow soap bubbles
   • Bake cookies
   • Make macaroni and cheese
   • Watch fireworks
   • Eat cotton candy at a baseball game
   • Go to a water park
   • Make S'mores
6. Take a pottery class together. Taking a pottery class with your boyfriend will be just as romantic as that one scene in Ghost^[2] -- except it'll be even better because you'll both be alive. You'll be getting your hands dirty, learning something new, and creating something that you can bring home and put on your coffee table, however lopsided and misshaped it may be.
   
   • Not only will you have fun doing this, but you'll be developing even more affection for one another.
7. Make a book of all of the emails you've written to each other. If you've spent a lot of time apart and have sent long emails to each other, or if you're just the kind of people who love sending each other emails, you should print out all of your sweet, funny, and romantic emails and put them in a book for your boyfriend. He'll read over all of your love notes and will remember all of the great times you've had and all of the memories you've shared.
   
   • An affectionate email can be just as romantic as a love note. Just punch holes in the emails and bind them together with thick colorful string and hand 'em over.

[Edit]Being Thoughtful

1. Give him thoughtful gifts. Don't just give your boyfriend a six pack of his favorite beer and take him out to Pizza Hut. Put in an effort to figuring out what he really likes and cares about, and what gift would actually mean something to him, and what would surprise him and make him see that you've put an effort into the gift.^[3] When it comes to gifts, one size does not fit all, so try to get your boyfriend something personalized, special, and something he wouldn't think to get on his own. Remember that the best gifts are often given "just because," not for a birthday or another special occasion. Here are some ideas to get you started:
   
   • Does he love hiking or camping? Get him the latest camping or hiking gear, something he's been wanting for a while.
   • Does he love fine ales or wines? Get him a subscription to a beer or wine of the month club.
   • Is he a video game junkie? Get him a new game that's all the rage, or update his gaming equipment.
   • Is he a concert fanatic? Find out when his favorite band is coming to town before he does and get him some tickets.
2. Write him thoughtful notes. Not every not-in-person communication has to come through a computer or a phone. If you're going to be apart for a day or two, or even for a few hours, write him a sweet note telling him how much he means to you or how much you'll miss him while you're apart. Just telling him to have a nice day and to let him know that you're thinking of him can make all the difference.
   
   • You can write your note on a post-it and put it on his mirror, put the note it in his lunch bag, school bag, or work bag, or leave the note on his windshield. Part of the romance will come from the surprise.
3. Go on meaningful dates. Though you and your boyfriend can probably have fun no matter where you go, you should make an effort to plan some dates that are special and feel really romantic.^[4] This depends on what you and your boyfriend like and the kinds of things that make you happy together. If you suggest a date that would be perfect for your boyfriend, then he'll be impressed by how much thought and effort you're putting into the relationship. Here are some ideas:
   
   • Does your boyfriend love baseball? Take a trip to the batting cages together.
   • Is it snowing just a little bit? You're never too old to go ice skating.
   • If you both want to hang out but don't feel like going anywhere, cook your favorite meal together.
   • Spend a day out on the beach or near a lake. Being near or in a body of water will make you feel more romantic.
   • Think of the thing your boyfriend has always talked about doing. Make it happen.
4. Do him favors that count. You may not think that doing your boyfriend's laundry on the week when he has a big exam coming up is very romantic, but he'll appreciate the gesture. Romance isn't all about the grand gestures, but about the little things that show your boyfriend that you really care about him and want to make him happy. Ideally, of course, you should both be doing each other favors; you should not turn in to his errand girl to win him over.
   
   • If he's having a really busy day, make him lunch or pick it up for him.
   • Step out in the morning to bring him back some coffee and muffins if you know he doesn't have anything to eat for breakfast.
   • If you're going to the store anyway, pick him up the few items he needs so you can save him the trip.
   • If he tends to be forgetful and has a big deadline coming up, remind him when it is to show him that you're paying attention.
5. Take the time to understand his interests. This doesn't mean you have to tag along with him and his buddies to watch Monday night football. But it does mean that you should make an effort to see why he cares about football or whatever other interests mean nothing to you. See what's behind his love for soccer, fishing, historical non-fiction, comics, or whatever else makes him tick.
   
   • Ask him questions about these things, and see if you can come along as he explores his interests if they intrigue you. Now that's romantic.

[Edit]Being Affectionate

1. Give your boyfriend affectionate touches. Sure, most guys aren't known for their love of PDA or hand-holding, but you should still make an effort to give your boyfriend reassuring, loving touches from time to time so he knows that you care about him.^[5] Squeeze his hand at the movies; run your hand through his hair when you're waking up; give him a playful shove when you're teasing each other. You shouldn't be all over him all the time or he may get weary; just pick the right moments to touch him, at least a few times a day.
   
   • Making that physical connection whenever it feels right is very romantic.
2. Give him meaningful compliments. Don't just say, "You're so hot" or "I really like you." Let him know what it is that makes him feel so special to you. Tell him he has a great smile, that you love his sense of humor, that you admire his work ethic, or that you think he's so good at knowing exactly how you're feeling. Make a point of finding something new you like about him every so often and let him know how you really feel.
   
   • Compliments are best delivered in person, but you can also always tell him how you feel in a love note, email, or phone call.
3. Show him affection when you're apart. If you're spending some time apart, whether it's a week or an entire summer, you should let him know you still care. This doesn't mean that you should call him twenty times a day to see what he's doing or to make sure he's not talking to other girls; it does mean that you should check in to let him know that you care and that you're thinking about him, at least once a day.
   
   • You don't have to talk on the phone every single day, if you're both busy and feel like you're just doing it to check an item off your list. But you should check in at least once a day when you're apart, whether it's by calling, texting, or emailing him.
   • Text him to let him know you're thinking of him.
   • If you both have video phones or Skype, make a video date or two each week, so you can still see each other and remember how much you love being together.
4. Give him an unexpected six-second kiss at least once a day. Even if you're both tired, busy, or just not feeling affectionate, you should kiss each other at least once a day. Make the effort to give him just one six-second long kiss each day, and you'll be upping the romance factor in your relationship, and strengthening your bond as a couple. Don't just give him a routine peck on the lips or cheek before you have to leave, but pick an unexpected time to kiss him.
   
   • Kissing is the most basic way to let your boyfriend know how much you care.
5. Tell him why he's an amazing boyfriend. Don't forget to let him know exactly how much he means to you. Often, words are the best way to show affection. You can tell him in a monthly letter, or tell him casually over dinner. Make a list of at least five things that make him an amazing boyfriend, and let him know exactly what these things are, so he really sees how much he means to you.
   
   • You can be even more spontaneous than that. If he does something that strikes you as amazing, just tell him what it is.
6. Give him a massage. Giving your boyfriend a massage will not only kick up the sexiness factor in your relationship, but it will also be a great way of showing him affection and letting him see that you really care. If he comes back home after a long day or work or school, make him sit down and give him a good shoulder massage. You can move to his neck, his biceps, and his lower back. Help him relax and get all of those pesky knots out of his back, and he'll be feeling your lovin' for a long time.
   
   • For a longer and more intimate massage, have him lie on his stomach for you.

[Edit]Keeping the Romance Alive

1. Never stop the courtship. Even if you and your boyfriend have been together for years, you shouldn't look at the relationship as a perfect union that should stay exactly the same until the end of time. You should both be working to impress each other, to keep chasing each other, and to remind each other why your relationship is so great. Don't just fall into the same old dull routine because it's "pretty good" and has been working thus far; take your relationship to the next level by always trying new things and keeping it interesting.
   
   • Don't stop telling each other how much you mean to each other.
   • Keep up your weekly "date nights," and make sure you leave the house for most of them.
   • Make sure you try something new together at least once a month, whether it's a new restaurant or a new sport.
   • Be spontaneous. Go on a random weekend trip you planned the night before; sign up for a salsa class at the last minute.^[6]
2. Tend to your looks. If you want to hold on to your boyfriend, then you can't let yourself go. Both of you should make sure you shower regularly, get your hair in good shape, and dress nicely when you're hanging out together. You can wear sweatpants on Sundays, maybe, or on another designated "vegging out" day, but on the whole, you should dress up when you're together like you could appear in public, even if you're not leaving the house.
   
   • Caring for your appearance will keep you from getting complacent in your relationship and will make you and your boyfriend feel more romantic.
   • You can even make a point of dressing up extra nicely for your date nights, even if you're not going anywhere that fancy.
3. Keep your bedroom in a sexy state. Whether you and your boyfriend are sleeping together or just hooking up, make sure you get together in a place that makes you feel romantic, not a dirty car or cluttered basement. If you can hook up in your bedroom, make sure that it's neat, clean, and that it feels like it's made just for you two to kiss each other; don't hook up near textbooks or the piles of folders you brought home from work. When you're getting intimate in the bedroom, intimacy should be the only thing on your minds.
   
   • If you and your boyfriend live together, this is especially important. If the room is only used for sleep and sex, you will both feel more romantic.
4. Maintain your independence. If you want to keep your relationship feeling fresh, then you and your boyfriend have to spend some time apart. If you're always together, then you won't have as much to talk about, and you won't be able to miss each other or appreciate each other when you're apart. No matter how close you are, it's important to pursue your own interests and to hang out with your friends and families apart from each other from time to time.
   
   • Just going out with your girlfriends without your boyfriend every week or two will give you a new appreciation of how much you love him.
   • Don't be clingy or needy. Let your boyfriend go out and do his own thing now and again and he'll love you -- and feel romantic -- even more.
5. Do activities that raise your adrenaline together. If you and your boyfriend do something romantic together that gets your blood pumping and makes you feel good, you will be guaranteed to feel more sexy and romantic. This can take the form of any kind of exercise such as long walks, hiking, biking, running, yoga, ballroom dancing, or just going to the gym together.
   
   • A couple that works out together stays together. And stays in shape.^[7]
   • Raising your adrenaline will also put you in a better mood, and will make you more fond of the person you're with.

[Edit]Tips

• Run your fingers through his hair when you look into his eyes.
• Make sure your boyfriend is okay with you doing this.
• Know that you are his only one, and even if you're not, pretend you are. If you're not confident, he won't be either.
• Don't be too overbearing or too subtle.
• It helps to be alone or sealed off
• This is good for if he's in a group
• Make him feel special always...
• Try to truly appreciate what his interests are, don't just pretend. Find something you can listen to him talk about for hours.
• Communication should be vital so that there will be no misunderstandings. Mostly couples break up due to misunderstandings.

How to Remove Scratches from a Phone Screen

Is your iPhone or Android screen scratched? This is a very common issue that can range from surface-level damage to severe failure of your device. While severe scratches typically require a screen replacement, you can remove and fix mild scratches at home. You can try buffing them out with toothpaste (if the screen is plastic), glass polish (if the screen is glass), or erasers. This wikiHow will show you how to get rid of scratches on your mobile device screens.

[Edit]Things You Should Know

• If your phone screen is plastic, you can use toothpaste (not gel-based).
• If your phone screen is glass, you can use glass polish.
• After repairing mild scratches, take precautions to prevent future scratches.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Using Toothpaste

1. Have toothpaste at the ready. Toothpaste should already be a standard part of your medicine cabinet and morning routine. Designed to be abrasive, toothpaste can fix a plastic scratch the same way it cleans teeth. Because it is home-based and shouldn't require additional purchases, toothpaste is the recommended remedy for fixing plastic scratches. It's important to make sure the toothpaste is an actual paste, as opposed to a gel-based toothpaste.^[1] In order for the scratch to work, the toothpaste needs to be abrasive. Check your toothpaste box if you're unsure about the kind of toothpaste you are using.
   
   • A baking soda mixture has the same abrasive qualities as toothpaste. If you'd rather use baking soda, you can stir up a paste with two parts baking soda and one part water. Use it in the same manner.
2. Dab the toothpaste with an applicator.^[2] Because this is a home-based remedy, there aren't any set rules of applicator you need to use. A soft cloth, paper towel, cotton swab or toothbrush can all suit your purposes in this instance. When you dab the toothpaste, you should only use a pea-sized amount. Any more will create an unwieldy mess on your phone.
   
   
3. Apply toothpaste to the scratch. Once you've got your dab of toothpaste, rub it around in a gentle, circular motion. Continue doing this until the scratch is barely noticeable. Since the toothpaste is abrasive on its own, you won't need to apply too much pressure. Keep at the scrubbing until you start to see progress. Even if the scratch is too significant to be done away with entirely, the abrasion should reduce the scratch.^[3]
   
   
   • If your scratch is significant enough, toothpaste won't be enough to fix it. Even so, it should at least reduce the look of most scratches.
   • If the scratches are severe, you can protect the cracked screen until you're able to get it replaced.
   • You can also protect a curved phone screen.
4. Clean your phone. Once the scratch is reduced to your liking, it's a simple process of cleaning off the toothpaste. Taking a soft, slightly damp cloth and wiping away the excess toothpaste is a good start.^[4] From there, you should take a polishing cloth and wipe away any dirt or oils that have otherwise built up on your screen. By doing this, you'll renew the look of your phone, and hopefully make your phone look better than even before the scratch.
   
   
   • Some methods may worsen your scratches or fail to improve them, such as: coconut oil, petroleum jelly, and powdered cleansers. Beware of these methods.
   • If the damage worsens, you will need to fix your phone screen.

[Edit]Using Glass Polish

1. Purchase a cerium oxide polish. If your phone has a glass screen (instead of a plastic one) you'll have to use a more heavy-duty solution than toothpaste or baking soda to get scratches off your phone. In this case, a cerium oxide polish is recommended. This type of polish can be bought as a soluble powder, or in a pre-mixed form. While the pre-mixed polish is obviously the more convenient option, you'll get much better value if you buy it in its powdered form.
   
   • 100g of cerium oxide powder should be more than enough when it comes to polishing your phone screen. You may want to buy a larger amount in the event of future scratching.
2. Mix your powder into a slurry. If you bought powdered cerium oxide, you'll first need to prep the mix yourself. Luckily, this is very easy, and likely worth the money you'll be saving. Pour some powder (approx. 50-100g) into a small container. Slowly add water until the solution has the consistency of dairy cream. Mix regularly as you add the water in order to make sure your measurements are correct.
   
   
   • Measurements don't have to be perfect in the case of this polish, so long as you make sure there's enough water for the polish to soak into an applicator.
   • This step can be disregarded completely if you buy a pre-mixed polish.
3. Block off all vulnerable spots with tape. A cerium oxide polish will do a number on your device if it seeps into any of the phone's holes, including the speaker, headphone jack or charger input. It can also potentially endanger your phone's cam lens. With that in mind, you should first cordon off the area you'd like to have polished with tape. Cover up whatever parts of your phone that might have problems if they're touched by the polish.
   
   
   • Taping up your phone before cleaning may seem overzealous, but it's highly recommended you follow through with this step before proceeding forward. In the case of a foul-up, your phone can be quickly wrecked otherwise.
4. Apply the polish to the scratched area. Dab a smooth polishing cloth in your cerium oxide mix, and rub the scratched area in a vigorous, circular motion. Regularly check to see how the scratch is looking as you tend the area. Every 30 seconds or so, it's a good idea to wipe away the mix with the opposite end of your cloth, dab the cloth in new polish, and repeat the process for maximum effectiveness.
   
   
   • When applying an abrasive polish, you'll want to go harder with the application than if you were simply cleaning it. Make sure not to go too hard, however. There would be nothing worse than causing new cracks in the screen while you're trying to fix old ones.
5. Give your phone a follow-up clean. Once you've applied and cleaned off the polish, it won't hurt to give your phone a quick once-over with a polishing cloth. This will wipe away any excess debris caused by the polish process. Remove the tape you added before polishing and wipe your phone. It doesn't need to take more than a minute or two to do thoroughly, but you may be impressed how much nicer your phone looks once you've wiped away the excess muck.
   
   
   • You should wipe your screen regularly. Twice a day may sound like a lot, but it only takes a second, and will ensure your screen stays healthy.

[Edit]Using Magic Eraser or Pencil Eraser

1. Understand the risks. This method may strip the oleophobic coating of your phone, which is the coating that protects all modern smartphone screens and makes them scratch-resistant.^[5]
   
   • Only use this method if you plan to replace the oleophobic coating or install a screen protector afterwards.
2. Prepare your eraser. This method will only be effective against minor scratches.
   
   
   • If you're using a Magic Eraser, be sure to wet the sponge to soften the abrasiveness. Squeeze out excess water.
   • If you're using a pencil eraser, be sure you're using a new eraser without any graphite markings.
3. Using the eraser, gently scrub your screen in small circles. Continue this until the scratches lessen or disappear. Results can take up to a minute of scrubbing.
   
   
   • This method will only work for minor, surface-level scratches.
   • This may lessen the appearance of deeper scratches, but it may not remove them entirely.
4. Wipe your screen clean. Make sure there is no leftover residue or eraser shavings. The scratches on your phone screen should be improved.
   
   • Be sure to apply a new oleophobic coating or install a screen protector.

[Edit]Preventing Scratches

1. Purchase a screen protector.^[6] Cellphones have never been so fragile and prone to scratching as they are today. Screen protectors are commonplace, and you should invest in one if you're the slightest bit worried about damaging your phone. Common phone protectors aren't generally too expensive, and they'll be much more affordable than replacing your screen or phone if the damage is bad enough. Higher-end protectors are virtually unbreakable, while affordable brands will at least take damage so your phone proper won't have to.
   
   • Between a plastic screen protector and tempered glass protector, you are better off investing in the latter.^[7] Tempered glass protectors offer better durability, visibility, and comfortable feel.^[8]
   • Applying a screen protector will give additional protection to your device.
2. Wipe your screen regularly. Small scratches can occur on your screen if you leave excess debris on your screen. Wiping your screen clean with a microfiber or silk cloth a couple times per day will keep your phone screen looking its best. Wiping your screen is especially useful if your phone is a touchscreen, as built-up oils and fingerprints can smudge the screen and blur it up.
   
   • Using clothes fabric like a shirt sleeve or even a dishcloth can also work as screen wipers, although ideally you'll want the smoothness of silk or microfiber when it comes to maintaining your screen.
3. Stow your phone somewhere safe. Most of the time your phone is scratched or damaged, you'll be on the go somewhere. It's important to consider where scratches come from and how they're most likely to be made. Put your phone in a separate pocket than your keys or coins. If possible, place your phone in a zip-up pocket to prevent it falling out accidentally.
   
   • Don't put your phone in your back pocket. On top of risking cracking if you sit down on it, there have been reports of it causing nerve problems due to the pressure it creates on your backside.^[9]

[Edit]Video

[Edit]Tips

• If your phone scratch is significant enough or you don't have the time to fix it yourself, you can consult a professional. However, replacing a phone screen can be expensive.
• While you should be able to tell whether your screen is glass or plastic based on the difference in touch, looking up the model of phone you have (either online or via your user manual) should give indication as to what material you should use.^[10]
• There are new and upcoming types of phones branded as "self-healing" devices. The plastic in these phones will repair moderate scratches on their own. If you're particularly scratch-prone and like to keep your devices in peak condition, you may want to consider a self-healing model for your next phone purchase.^[11]

[Edit]Warnings

• If you choose to use a heavy-duty polish, you may end up scrubbing off part of the screen coating as well. Screen coating (such as an oleophobic coating) is there to reduce friction and increase comfort while using the device. Keep this in mind and weigh the pros and cons of polishing your screen.

How to Convert Grams to Kilograms

The easiest and fastest ways to convert g to kg and kg to g

How many grams in a kilogram? How many kilograms in a gram? If you’re used to using U.S. or Imperial measurements, the metric system can seem like a bit of a mystery. That’s where we come in. In this article, we’ll show you how to convert grams to kilograms and kilograms to grams, plus we’ll walk you through examples and explain how to show your work. Ready to ace your next math test? Read on!

[Edit]Things You Should Know

• To convert grams to kilograms, divide the number of grams by 1,000.
• Alternatively, move the decimal point in your number 3 spaces to the left. Add zeroes to fill any empty spaces after the decimal point.
• To convert kilograms to grams, multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. Or, move the decimal point 3 spaces to the right, filling in any empty spaces with zeroes.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Grams to Kilograms

1. Divide the number of grams by 1,000. There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram, so all you have to do is divide by 1,000 to get from grams to kilograms.^[1] Set up the equation using fractions, if needed. Put the number of grams over 1 and divide it by 1 kg / 1,000 g (which is the conversion factor). The grams will cancel out to leave you with an answer in kilograms. Make sure to label your answer with the correct units.^[2]
   
   • Example 1: 20,000 grams ÷ 1,000 = 20 kilograms
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {20,000g}{1}}/{\frac {1kg}{1,000g}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {20,000}{1}}/{\frac {1kg}{1,000}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle 20,000/1,000=20kg}$
   • Example 2: 9,135 grams ÷ 1,000 = 9.135 kilograms
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {9,135g}{1}}/{\frac {1kg}{1,000g}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {9,135}{1}}/{\frac {1kg}{1,000}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle 9,135/1,000=9.135kg}$
2. Shift the decimal point 3 places to the left as an alternative. The metric system is a base 10 system of measurements. In other words, metric units are always a multiple of 10 apart. Grams and kilograms are a multiple of 1,000 apart, so you can simply move the decimal point 3 places to the left. Remember that for a whole number, the decimal point is to the right of the ones place. Fill in any blank spaces with zeroes, as needed.^[3]
   
   • Example 1: 37 grams = 37. → 3.7 → .37 → .037 kilograms
   • Example 2: 4,000 grams = 4,000. → 400.0 → 40.00 → 4.000 kilograms

[Edit]Kilograms to Grams

1. Multiply the number of kilograms by 1,000. There are 1,000 grams in 1 kilogram, so all you have to do is multiply by 1,000 to get from kilograms to grams.^[4] Set up the equation using fractions, if needed. Put the number of kilograms over 1 and multiply it by 1,000 g / 1 kg (which is the conversion factor). The grams will cancel out to leave you with an answer in kilograms.^[5] Don’t forget to label your answer with the correct units.
   
   • Example 1: 5 kilograms x 1,000 = 5,000 grams
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {5kg}{1}}x{\frac {1,000g}{1kg}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {5}{1}}x{\frac {1,000g}{1}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle 5x1,000=5,000g}$
   • Example 2: 16.505 kilograms x 1,000 = 16,505 grams
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {16.505kg}{1}}x{\frac {1,000g}{1kg}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle {\frac {16.505}{1}}x{\frac {1,000g}{1}}}$
     • ${\displaystyle 16.505x1,000=16,505g}$
2. Shift the decimal point 3 places to the right as an alternative. Because the metric system is a base 10 system of measurement, metric units are a multiple of 10 apart. Kilograms and grams are a multiple of 1,000 apart. So, all you have to do is move the decimal point 3 places to the right to convert from kilograms to grams. Fill in any blank spaces with zeroes and label your answer with the correct units.^[6]
   
   • Example 1: 50 kilograms = 50. → 500. → 5000. → 50000.0 grams
   • Example 2: 1.957 kilograms = 1.957 → 19.57 → 195.7 → 1957.0 grams

[Edit]FAQs

1. What is a gram? A gram (g) is a unit of measurement for mass in the metric system (also known as the International System of Units, or SI). The base metric unit of mass is 1 gram. A regular paperclip has a mass of about 1 gram.^[7] One gram is also approximately equivalent to the mass of one cubic centimeter of water.^[8]
   
2. What is a kilogram? A kilogram (kg) is the standard unit of mass in the metric system. It’s approximately equal to the mass of 1,000 cubic centimeters of water.^[9]
   
3. How are grams and kilograms related? The metric system is a base 10 system of measurements. In other words, metric units are always a multiple of 10 apart, meaning they get larger or smaller by a power of ten (10). A unit's prefix tells its power. The prefix "kilo-" means that the unit has one thousand (1,000) of the base unit.^[10]
   
   • 1 kilogram (kg) is equal to 1,000 grams (g) and 1 gram (g) is equal to 0.001 kilograms (kg).
