If a metric ton is 1.000 × 106 g, how many 60 kg people can safely occupy an elevator that can hold a maximum mass of exactly 1 metric ton?
I got the answer .06, but the progam says it's wrong. If you could explain that would be great!!

1.000*10^6 g = 1000 kg
(1000 kg) / (60 kg) = 16.7
The elevator can safely hold up to 16 people.
(1000 kg) / (60 kg) = 16.7
