When recording measurements, we often use decimals. Let’s consider the value in grams of each decimal place.
The 2 represents 2 kg or 2000 g.
A thousandth of a 1000 g is a 1 gram. The 5 represents 5 grams.
2.375 kg
A tenth of 1000 g is 100 g. The 3 represents 300 g.
A hundredth of 1000 g is 10 g. The 7 represents 70 grams.
So my measurement is equivalent to 2 kg and 375 g or 2375 g.
