How do you convert 4,200 decigrams to grams?

1 Answer

$4200$ $4200$ dg $= 420$ $=420$ g

Explanation:

g stands for grams and dg for decigrams.

$1$ $1$ g $= 10$ $=10$ dg $\Rightarrow 1$ $=> 1$ dg $= \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$ $=1/10=0.1$ g or $10^{- 1}$ $10^-1$ g

You have $4200$ $4200$ dg $\Rightarrow \frac{4200}{10} = 420$ $=> 4200/10=420$ g

Notice that if it was centigrams (cg) or milligrams (mg) you would have divided by $100$ $100$ and $1000$ $1000$ respectively.

Hope this helps :)
