Know the Answer?

Johnathan · Answer 1

It would be grams.

I know this because the are 1,000 grams in a kilogram. and the unit measure in the problem is 113 and not in the thousands yet, so it's 113 grams and not 113 kilograms

Amy Lucas · Answer 2

Grams because a phone wouldn't weigh 113,000 which is what it means be kilo grams unless it was a old Nokia brick then I'm not sure
