 The same procedure is followed when you are converting new values from tons to kilograms.

How to convert tons to kilograms

1 t = 1000 kg

One ton is equivalent to one thousand kilograms

The mass in kilograms is calculated by multiplying the mass in tons by one thousand. This can be expressed as;

M (kg) = M (t) x 1000

Using the example above;

Convert 0.04 tons to kilograms

The calculation will be;

M (kg) = 0.04 t x 1000

= 40 kilograms (Kg)
