Hint:
We are given one quantity in a certain unit. And we are asked to convert the quantity in another unit. The given quantity is 15 decigrams. We are asked to find how much it measures in hectogram For this question, we should know how to convert different units.
The correct answer is: 0.015
The given quantity is 15 decigrams.
We are asked to convert the above quantity in hectogram
To convert the above quantity in hectogram, we should know the relation between them.
1 decigram = 0.001 hectogram
Hectogram is larger than decigram and when we have to convert some smaller unit into larger unit, we get decimal points.
So, to convert 15 decigram into hectogram we will multiply the value by 0.001
We get
15 decigrams = 15 × 0.001 hectogram
= 0.015 hectogram
So, the value of given quantity in hectogram is 0.015.
For such questions, we should know about the different units and relation between them.
